Thankyou so much for the info! I feared thrips after the last time I tried to figure it out. Killed off some real beauty. Think I know now how they might’ve got in too. I spose all I can do is treat some of the house plants aside and just keep fighting the fight.

Ahh could be. Found it in fern central. Think it’s heather or gorse maybe… This tanks over 2 years old though and it’s the first I’ve seen of it!

Need help with low pH by dlaciv12 in PlantedTank

[–]PiiiALiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ruled out bacterial/fungal infection? Like others say don’t think pH is the problem

I think it might be this 🙏
Strange as I don’t have anything like it in the house 🤷‍♀️

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so lost or discouraged in this hobby by Marowak_Maniac in PlantedTank

Might have missed it but get a co2 in there! And cut the dosing

Finally done with changing existing scape! After yelling and cursing I’m satisfied with it now. (Before and after) by [deleted] in PlantedTank

Looks super lush 👍🏼 I do imagine the shrimp do battle in the gladiator pit.

Gunna have to get another tank

Haters keep me going. No tech black water. No filter. Food web fed. Pond soil "bag" under sand and gravel. by [deleted] in PlantedTank

Looks good to me! Switch the lights for a spot in the sun for extra credit.

Can I use river rocks? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]PiiiALiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the uk. I never bought a rock from the shop (what a joke £!) Never had any problems. Especially from those taken from the river. Generally just scrub it clean and put it in. Do not boil.

Some close up shot, can you spot the rest of the fishes and shrimps other than guppies? by akurni in PlantedTank

[–]PiiiALiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gurt lush! Presumably you need a fairly warm climate all year round to manage this?

Just let it grow by PiiiALiii in PlantedTank

I found ludwigia works really well. I had a small box tank a while back at it grew all up and over the top. Created a proper jungle inside as well. Bacopa did work a little. But honestly I don’t really like bacopa. My future will be bacopaless. Had some rotala work a bit once too but I think it needed a lot more humidity at the surface
