2 Month Tank Progress Video

[SonicsDC25]

Just a time lapse video of my tank over the course of 2 months after it's been set up, hoping to get some green algae by month 4-6, but with purple algae being more nutritious for my fish I don't mind if it stays lol .

How did you get it to grow like that?

 

[Brookster123]

That's very cool!! What's the trick to all that growth???

 

[SonicsDC25]

Thanks, there's no trick, leave your lights on for 12-14 hours a day and have the right balance of NO3; so it is beneficial for the algae and not high enough to do significant harm to your fish. I also keep my water parameters in check (pH, KH, GH, ect) and maintenance my tank daily with weekly PWC to add minerals back into the tank.

You just made me want a cichlid tank haha

 

[SonicsDC25]

If I've converted you over to cichlids, then my job is done LOL but jokes aside, should really get a tank for them

4... My house is packed and my wife isn't willing to move anything to get another tank in, fighting the urge to hit up Petco for a 55g lol.

 

[Brookster123]

Yup 4, biggest is 29, 20,10, and a temp 5.5 apisto fry tank.. I'm pushing my luck though, I've been buying a lot if flowers lately haha

 

[SonicsDC25]

Lol, well I may just try flowers if it works for you I've been hand feeding my fish lately and have gotten my wife to do the same, so hopefully she'll get hooked and allow another tank hehe.
