Aquarium Advice Addict
Can anyone recommend another medium to sell aquarium related stuff? Craigslist? Not Fleebay
It's going.... will give a detailed update later tonight!
Alright sooo here we go...
As for the big tank everything in there is okay, finally able to get the bylxa thinned out and pogo is getting hacked tomorrow. R. Macandra growth is better. I believe this is due to keeping the KH lower, read many threads saying this plant likes low KH.
Now for the experimental tank. Ever since turning the CO2 down and dirting it I just cannot get the macandra or anything to look good. The pogo is even struggling.... Not really sure what is going on in this tank. I thought my issues may be related to a magnesium deficiency from using an RO water, I won't get into the science on why I think this though. I started using the city water for this tank since it is so small I can easily keep it running on city water and eliminate any possible GH issue. I switched the micro mix to a standard EI mix which was very close to what I was running. I'm going to give this tank one more week to see if it responds, if not I am going to put the Sat Plus on it and see what happens. Not really sure why I had that great growth for a few weeks and now can't get it back,really actually mimics the life cycle of the 26. To me it seems like its nutrient related though, the plants just won't color up.
