Pittbully's planted tank journey

[pittbully13]

Plants are perking up nicely. Experimenting with the EI dosing method using my PPS ferts. Also I made another anubias stick. Here's some pics pre wc and diy co2 change.

I stuck 3 amano shrimp in the tank and a week later I was thinking "Wait, was does BBA even look like anymore?" Amano shrimp are the key for me.

At least yours don't hide on the filter output!
Do yours eat it when it turns pink if you spot treat with excel?

I use 50/50 glut and h2o2. All my anubias "sticks" are removable and found it best to take them out of the tank and spray them, and them sit for a min. Then back in. Last time I forgot to put the sticks in and left them out for almost 30min. Nearly Destroyed all the leaves.

That's an interesting observation. I used to watch it go through the colors changes and then one day it "disappears". Never really questioned how it went away. I'm going to treat the BBA and keep my eyes peeled.
It's bad when your MTS shells have BBA.

I haven't personally seen it turn pink, but have read on brooksters threads that's what his does. After this color change he says his otos and amanos finish it off.

That's what I was.going to say! Great thing about amanos is you can actually see the pink in their tummies after a nice bba salad!
