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.

Wow thank you and your discus are beautiful. I am thinking of having 5-7 discus in this tank and that is it (no other tank mates). Now when you say do regular water changes how often is that.

I am starting a 75 gallon discus tank soon. I was wondering If I could make this at home and feed it to them.

I am starting a discus tank soon and would like to know if this is a good food.

Is your tank in any direct sunlight?

Actually now that I think of it the bubbles might be copepod eggs. They will soon hatch, the good thing Is that it is a food supply for fish. They are very good to have.

If you really don't like it you can just take your rocks out and scrub them with a toothbrush.

Haha I had this same problem. With the micro bubbles after time have just disappeared for me. Now your rocks will soon turn a light green and, soon a purplish pink color. This is a very good sine it is Caroline algae! It tells you that your water pristine.

I would recommend doing the same 2 gallon water change. Just try and do it weekly and, your nitrates will go down too 0. Also nitrites are caused by too much nutrients in the water so, maybe cut back on feeding
