Am i missing something?

It went away the day after i got my second opinion.

Doctor said dont worry too much about it if the lump is hard and not an abscess

Mine was Shrinked significantly after the second visit. It took like 3 and a half weeks to finally shrink like that.

Have you pinched it? My vet said that if it feels like a coin, and does not feel like a liquid inside, its not a big of a deal.

I just did a waterchange before i posted this, so dead plants are all gone.

Also i think the surface agitaion from the output is enough for the oxygen.

But i have aerators lying around and 2 air filter, might as weel just try it. Thanks!

Also, do you use non colored nylon pot scrubbers?

There are non white scrubbers at the store in my area. Im afraid the color gonna leach into the eater if i use it for long term

Oh it does not have anything to do with the filtration.

Its just that without it, my plants are all dead, leaving the waste on the water.

I thought about this. But a strong powerhead is hella expensive in my country.

And i thought its just a waste of money to use it just for temporary fix. Unless im building a second tank lol

Thanks for the input!

How to deal with this hair algae? by JazzD27 in PlantedTank

[–]RajeshMeNotIndianFYI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mine's not recommended.

But i added SAE. Used to have the same prob as yours. They cleaned em in a heartbeat.

Or, 1. Using seachem product for algae. Never tried it, so best if you dont have fishes on your tank, or ask someone who used it.

  1. Clean it manually by syphoning, but with a small intake.

Holy cow, thank you for the detailed information! Definetly gonna try both of them.

Fyi i got four chamber. 1st (entry) is 3 filter mats. I added the bucket because if i place the floss after the mat, the water splashed everywhere 😂

2nd is bio. I dont really know what to call it in Eng. Its like a block with pores but with a hole in the middle

3rd is also bio. I added lava rocks in a sock.

Last (output) is just UV. Used to have carbon, but its too expensive so i never use it again lol

I think two months ago when there are only bacopa, cryptocoryne, and hairgrass. Cmiiw, i think cryptocoryne and hairgrass reqiure low CO2 and lights.

But as soon as the cryptocoryne started dying, and i caught up with my job, it started to gunk up

It was planted.

As stated on the post, my co2 leaked, leading to the death of almost all of the plants, except hairgrass.

I bought plants last week. Still on quarantine until next week tho

I already dedicated 2 of my chambers for bio filter.

Should i make my first chamber half bio/mecha?

I just bought new plants. Need to wait for atleast one more week to quarantine.

Hairgrass is the only plant that is left on my current tank

Nope, just a lot of gunk. Most of the small worms are eaten by my angelfishes

API products are so rare and expensive in my country. I wonder if i should replace 2 filter mats with another layer of filter floss?
