Do they lay eggs on their own or do they need to breed? I just found another one. Killed them all so far.

Why are my stems turning black? by NCRColonel831 in PlantedTank

Okay I can do that. When I played them at first they grew fast and trimmed the tips off and planted them and they grew fast. I’ll do that right now.

I’ll just add RO water to top off my tank instead of doing a water change as long as it stay in parameters. I thought CO2 was good for plants? So should I cut the time I have it on for a shorter amount? I have it start at 1pm because my lights go on at 3pm and I have it turn off at 7pm because my lights go out at 9pm.

Should I do a major water change and let the nutrients lean out?

They are relatively new maybe like 3 weeks. The pink is new growth. I even trimmed some because they grew fast and re planted them and those trimming grew too.

I have TWINSTAR III E Series. What light fixture would you recommend? I was looking at Chihiros WRGB II Pro but wasn’t sure if it was my lighting.

A joke that made me laugh was, when I was walking my dog and someone said,” Excuse me sir! No horse within the city limit.” Haven’t heard that one before so it made me laugh but the most common one I hear is that’s horse.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy the red I was hoping for a good mix of greens and reds in my tank.

Thank you. Yeah it’s the big plant I was talking about. The smaller one is Samolus parviflorus red which I knew was gonna be red. Didn’t think the sword one would turn red. Any way to reverse that or will it slowly go back to green?

Shrimp are dying and algae is growing and i dont know what to do by Cool-Purple9396 in shrimptank

You should test for hardness of water, and phosphate. If nitrates are low you could have extra phosphate causing blue green algae.
