    Thanks Max, that's not a bad idea, I already keep flourish and a bottle of meds in the fridge.

    Trace Elements mixture.

    Cool thanks! I will not have a problem cleaning the bottle as it's not stuck to the walls. It's just floating in chunks. I will clean it and add the excel and see what happens. Thanks again.

    Has anyone experienced some kind of strange growth in the TE bottle? Is it still ok to put in the tank? Can this growth be prevented? Thanks

    Uv light in a planted tank...

    It will not hurt the plants. It will kill good and bad bacteria but only in water going through the light. It will not kill the good bacteria in your filter media and any other solid subject in your tank.

    Yeap! Those move slow when they hatch.

    baby snails

    What kind of snails are they? I had mystery snails hatch and they moved very slow for the 1st day or so. If they did not reach the water yet, make sure there is enough humidity in the tank. I partially covered to create condesation.

    What's wrong with this plant?

    I didn't even look at the EI because of the frequent water changes. I am not home all the time and the tank is 100g

    What's wrong with this plant?

    I'll check those out again. What happens if I can't do a water change for two weeks? Will it hurt the fish or plants?

    What's wrong with this plant?

    Is EI method the one that requires frequent water changes? Also are these ferts are dozed in a liquid form correct? So they are in the water column absorbed by plants through the leaves correct?

    What's wrong with this plant?

    Nitrates 20 to 30 ppm Phosphates 0.5 to 1. CO2 15 to 25 ppms. Light should be fine since I have other plants that demand high light and they are doing great. I am not using liquid carbon at the moment. Flourish comprehensive 7.5 ml per week. DIY root tabs using size 0 and Dynamite fertilizer...

    Another question, do you fully bury the roots? I see in one pic that they are partially exposed . That's how mine is.

    What's wrong with this plant?

    I have a 6500K LED light fixture 55w. Also a lot of indirect sun light. No algae issues. All other plants are growing like crazy. I have a pressurized co2 system and based on my readings I get 15 to 25 ppm of co2. I have liquid carbon but to dozing at the time. Since I have co2 already I...

    What's wrong with this plant?

    If all conditions are ok how long should it take to recover?
  20. Elpez

    What's wrong with this plant?

    I am using DIY root tabs (dynamite) and doze my tank once a week with flourish comprehensive as recommended in the bottle. I also have a pressurized co2 system. So it like time is the key. All other plants in the tank are doing fine.

    What's wrong with this plant?

    I just got this plant last week and does not look healthy at all. It was fine when I bought it but it looks like it is losing mass. Here are the pics. Is this when you use the term melting? What causes it? The plant is an amazon sword ( Echinodorus Paniculatus ) at least that's what the label in...

    Newbie lighting question

    Yes I would start there. It's easier to I crease light if plants don't look good than getting rid of algae.

    DIY Root Tabs

    Cool! Also started with DIY tabs but I am using size 0, all they had at the vitamin shoppe, and Dynamite. I placed 24 of these in my 80 gallon tank and so far everything looks ok, no spikes in ammonia either.

    Too much light IMO, I can see algae in your future!
