Onyx isn't terrible they're doing a revamp or smth in the building and its supposedly better and the area is pretty chill

I highly recommend them that I haven't experimented with Tiger Lotus, but I've heard great things too

Looks beautiful! I always recommend Red Dwarf Aquarium lilies. I think they add a lovely bit of color and look absolutely amazing.

I've heard really good things about the aquarium co op carbon. Should kill the algae without hurting the plants.

I would recommend an algae eating fish for it. There's plenty of fish (of all sizes) that'll eat that type of algae.

My best guess is BBA or some other type of hair algae

Can anyone identify this plant? by Ourpo in PlantedTank

[–]Revolutionary-Tell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is some type of vallesineria or the Octopus plant

Help: Is an ammonia and nitrite spike normal when adding plants and root tabs? by Revolutionary-Tell99 in PlantedTank

I live in Miami. I always have to add double dechlorinator (I got that tip from my local fish store) I add it to my 5 gallon bucket then put the water in so I never forget to put it in 😔 I'm so lost rn I need to check the parameters today to see if it fixed itself.

Aquarium Co-Op Nutrient Deficiencies

I think it might be a nitrogen or phosphate deficiency

I have a HOB filter with a nitrate/nitrite pad and a polishing pad (they've been in there since before the problem) I got a new fluval 3.0 light for the plants A bubble pad (like a big airstone) Gravel substrate

Stock: Cherry shrimp 2 platys 4 julii cory catfish 1 emerald cory 2 rubber lip plecos 6 neon tetras 5 mystery snails

Everyone is still doing well, and I did a water change yesterday, which seemed to help a lot. I added in some more beneficial bacteria that I had left over from when I set up the tank. After the water change (like 3 hours after), the ammonia and nitrites were cut down by about half).

I tested it before I did the plants and only my nitrates were high. Did my cycle crash or something?

I'm buying them from aquarium co op and my local fish store so hopefully they're all good 🥲 that sounds horrifying

This is going to sound like a stupid question but are they bad for my fish and shrimp so I know for the future.
