I think I accidentally introduced BBA in my tank with a bucephalandra I added recently, and now it is slowly spreading around. Tank volume is 120 liters (probably less considering high substrate etc), 70 days old. Medium lights, on 8 hours a day. I inject CO2 at 2bps, which turns the drop...

Hello, From tap pH is 7.5, KH 1.5-2 and GH is 2.5-3. Tank pH sways between 6.4-6.8 depending if CO2 is on or not. Substrate is ADA aquasoil + I have driftwood. The odd part is that for some reason KH and GH in the tank have risen up. KH is 3 and GH 6. Temperature is at 24.5 celsius. CO2...

Hello, I've added 30 Caridina species during the last 3 weeks in my 120 liter planted community aquarium and I rarely see them. I've seen one shrimp corpse on the aquasoil and just found another near the canister filter intake (sponge). The shrimps that I do see seem active'ish (don't know if...

Found one of my danios in my surface skimmer a few days ago. Modded the skimmer so that fish can't fall in anymore but noticed the same danio kept being sucked in. He was constantly swimming by the surface (I've measured o2 with a drip kit and levels are very high) and so slowly he was caught by...

Went on a work trip and instructed SO to dose EI daily. Before trip ammonia was 0, nitrites 0.1 and nitrates 5 mg/l. Dosed EI according to instructions on the bottle - e.g. 1.5mg/l NO3 daily. After 5 days nitrates should've been cumulatively 5 + 5x1.5 = 12.5 mg/l minus whatever the plants...

Attached is an image of a buce I recently added to my tank in two parts on different sides of the tank. Both came from the same pot and were planted at the same time. The one that is doing better was super glued on a rock next to another buce that was on a different rock. The one that is doing...

My nitrates have been steadily climbing since I established my tank. Tank is new with fresh ADA Aqua soil & root tabs. I dosed EI daily on week one (added around 1,5 mg/l of nitrates daily), did a 50% water change and tested a bigger dose (added ~4mg/l equivalent of NO3 after water change) and...

Hello, this is my first post here and I just started so please bear with me. Last friday night I finished scaping and filling my very first tank. I started very heavily planted - there is barely any place left I could plant anymore. The soil is ADA Amazonia Aqua Soil and I've got different...
