The tank with the cyano in it is fully planted, two external filters, 1-2 wattsof light per gallon. That would be my last resort because i have fish in there that i dont really want to dose. I have had it another tank before and once I found the right balance of nutrients it was gone. Or at...

I will receive the KNO3 next tuesday then i will try. I have no DI/RO but my tap water is very soft.

270 L. How much do u add?

I have order the KNO3. Is there a certain percentage i should use. Meaning should i thin it out or use pure form. I will try to lookfor some more info before I add anything. Thx

Nitrates. I have 8 discus, 2 rams, 21 cardinals and a L134. They eat once a day. And i do my weekly water changes. I thinkI will try raise the nitrates. Thanks for the advice. I will keep a post of what happens. Cheers

Last i check which was a few weeks ago they were low well almost none exsistent. <0,01

Thx i might give that a shot. Thx for the tips.

I only have lights on 8 hours a day. I have a fully planted tank with CO2 injection with pH regulator. The plants are growing very well. Its just the cyano is creeping alone. I clean them out then 2 weeks later still coming back. I have tried to cut back on food. Now done to once a day with one...

So i covered the tank for 4 days. Total darkness and now I have the cyanobacteria back again :( Any other suggestions?

I have a small school that i was considering breeding. I would like to know if anyone has some success with this fish. I have 4 males n 3 females in a 180 L. Roots, plants, gravel and good filteration. They eat everything I toss in. I have been mixing between flakes, bloodworms, daphnia, brine...

Yeah I have had my eye on them for some time. I keep mainly south american fish. Time to get something new. I will start with them. Thx

Maybe I start with the L. ocellatus then see what happens.

Thx i have to go back to the drawing board. I would like to have both but only room for one tank. Thank you again. Cheers

Do the Cryps need more space. I know the L. ocellatus could be ok in the 80L. I was trying to have more than just the L.o. they stay low n the rest of tank is wasted. What would u recommend for a tank size?

I was think of putting an aquarium together to house these two fish any ideas that could help. I have a 160L or an 80L. I was thinking about. 6 L. ocellatus and 5-8 Cyps.

I have a 10L nano. I have some black trim on some of the plant edges. Mainly on older leaves. Things are growing and the fish(micro rasboras) are well. I have added 3 amano shrimp to see if they pick at it. No luck so far or atleast from what I see. Any other ideas?

I have tried LEDs at night but we moved to Germany last year and I am slowly building my aquarium hobby back up. Soon. Yes it looks cool at night. Thx for the info cheers

Ok 4 on 4 off 4 on. I will see if the black out works and then maybe try this light schedule.

I have lights on timer just not 4 hours. And you say 4 hours a day is enough per day

Sounds good. I thought of 3 to 4 days. I took all fish out only have snails in. I did a massive gravel vac and water change. Trimmed all plants. I have never heard of this 4 hour light cycle?? Can u explain a bit more.

Has anyone had the experience of blacking out a tank with blue/green algae in it. We are about to try this method.

I found out that it was a fungus on my pleco. It just looked like BBA at first glance. Thx

Not yet soon. But it is really beard algae. Gray to color and is growing all over wood n other things.

Has anyone heard of beard algae growing on a pleco? If so any solutions.

Hello to all. Love fish! The tanks they grow in n the plants that make them feel well. I will take any advise and give my best to share my experiences. Thx glad to hear from u all. Cheers
