I know they are not HO. My lights are probably half an inch above the water because it is a biocube and they are built into the hood. I am using flourish ferts(iron, excel, and flourish). I only use what is recommended on the bottle. But my water paraments are perfect and my water is cloudy.

The tank has been set up for about a week now. I got my water tested today and everything was perfect. I am using ecocomplete mixed with some black sand from my LFS.

All of the plants are yellow. I have two 24w compact fluorescent bulbs. One blue and one white. I keep both on for 12 hours a day.

I just set up a 14 gallon biocube planted aquarium. This is my first planted aquarium. I have cycled my tank with "stability" (bottle of bb). I just put plants in 4 days ago and they are turning a yellowish brown transparent color. My plants are an anubius, some dwarf baby tears, dwarf hair...

Need help starting a planted discus tank. I was wondering what substrate I should use? What is the best fertilizers to use? What's the best lighting? What would be the best plants? I don't want to use co2 because a system is too expensive for me. I have a 75 gallon tank.

Wow I can't thank you enough for all this information. You really solved all my questions. If I have anymore I'm going to ask you.

Alright that sounds good. How long would the tint last? If it's stay so can tolerate it, but I would rather have clear water.

Does peat moss need light? I would be having a canister filter and emperor 400 in my tank. I wouldn't know where to put light if they needed it. Also does it need a substrate?

So my ph is around 8.2. What is the ph of ro water. Sorry this is really confusing to me :/

Would I have to add anything to the water if I get an ro system

I live in Charlotte NC. The ph of my water is at 8.0. What is the best way to get it down to 7.0 or lower

Alright in my tank I will have 760 gallons of flow so I think that would be good

Ok thanks for the info. Can I know your water parameters, and I want to get an emperor 400 and a marineland c360 do a 75 gallon tank would this be good

Oh that's not bad a was expecting you too say like everyday do a 50% wc

Also I was going to cut that recipe In half so it won't go to waste.
