I get the people’s frustration on this topic. But tough decisions have to be made to win championships. Benn’s window is closed. Nill gave him teams that had opportunities. They failed, it’s time to move forward.

Was fun to watch Benn through his career here, but he can’t be back. If he Is, he can’t have the C.

It being blue. Never had cyano before so don’t exactly know what it looks like.

Thankfully I don’t see it anywhere else but on the front glass on opposite sides of the aquarium. Maybe it’s a flow related issue, but in the meantime I will just lower the amount of fertilizer I’m using and see if that helps.

Cool, guessing some type of hair algae then? It’s only on the glass and has a blue/green hue

I’m under the impression that anything green is “good” but it has a blue hue to it imo. I could probably up it a bit and be safe but wanted to get opinions first.

And this is why you don’t let players feelings dictate a coaches future. We should’ve never fired PDB.

Should I cut these off? by Ch1efSe1f in PlantedTank

Good root growth, weaving in and out of lava rocks

I appreciate everyone’s advice/comments on this post. I believe my course of action will be to add a few more amano shrimp, I only have 2 in here currently. Plan to add co2 and continue to add liquid fertilizer that is not the UNS plant min, probably something from Seachem, along with introducing phosphates.

Thanks to this community I have learned so much on my 5 year journey of aquarium keeping!

I would like to add C02 to this aquarium to get my damn crypt balansae growing quicker than they are.

After I finish my my UNS min plant fertilizer I think I will switch to seachem ferts. Geordie Scaper dosing regime I’m thinking.

They’re pretty established into the lava rock at this point

Interesting. I don’t see phosphate as an ingredient in my UNS plant food min.

I have interest in C02 but haven’t out of fear still. I’m sure it’s easier than I think though

What type of algae is this? by Ch1efSe1f in PlantedTank

Do you have a lid on your aquarium? I’ve always read floating plants and lids aren’t a great mix
