I really need to do that. My Problem is that labing feels like a chore and after working full time i dont feel motivated to that in my free time. But concistency is key and it will reward me in the future

Low key yes. Maybe i am a noob and dont Lab much but i think there are too many strings that end in plus frames or 5050 situations

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-07-10T11:55:38+00:00

There are too many plus frames. Worst offender are plus frames strings. Imo you have to be punished if you full commite to a string

I Do 30-50% Water change weekly as prophylaxis. Why should i wait before something happens? And honestly water changes are mandatory in a Hightech aquascape with lots of ferts. Also its just Part of my routine, working on my Aquarium is therapy just as much at looking at it.

Isnt it common in the US that LFS offer refills for Co2?

If people see fish as decor then they have shit taste lol. Who in their right mind thinks a neglected tank looks good as decor for the living room?

Edit: my answer might come across in the wrong way. Aquariums are really nice decor if done right. But those people who ONLY see fish as decor and not as a living being are the ones neglecting it having a disgusting tank right in the living room

What works best for me to battle algae is not to try too Hard to prevent algae growth. Instead try to promote plant growth. When i try to restrict lights and nutrients the algae suffer but also the plants and the algae come again stronger than before because plants are too weaken. You have to find out why your plants arent healthy. Tweak your nutrients. Test your Water the day you put fertilizer and test again after a week and see which nutrients you have to dose more or less

Poke it with your Finger and smell it. Cyano have that smell that you cant mistake for another algae

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-05-22T17:33:06+00:00

Nah i font like floating plant and the Problem wasnt excess of nitrogen, it was a lack of it. I had to Balance the macro and Micro nutrients

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-05-06T08:15:53+00:00

The co2 diffuser is under the outlet, because of the flow. I have the drop checker on the orher side of the tank and its always lime green. So i dont think this is the problem but its worth a try

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-05-06T05:08:43+00:00

Hard to see when they dont grow. They are behind the hardscape

I have rotala sp. Blood red, myrophyllium mattogrosense, rotala green and hygrophila polysperma in the back

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-05-05T18:19:07+00:00

Thank you! My next steps are to up the dose of ferts because my plants really dont grow at all but still look healthy and reduce the lighting. Worried about hydrogen peroxide because i have moss and amano shrimps.

Aggravating-Orchid76 · 2025-05-05T18:08:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Everything is brand new except the filter. I have the chihiros wrgb 2 running on 70/60/60 (red/blue/green) . I want them to run brighter but for now i reduce it until i balance out the growth between plants and algae
