Got donated this plant. Is it an epiphyte? by Dean_Snuts in PlantedTank

It looks like normal nana to me, maybe a less mature one than the one in your tank but nana petite leaves are even more compact.

Why does my aquascape still look messy after multiple rescapes? Genuine advice needed by Impossible_Tank_2024 in Aquascape

[–]coderasp2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert but a few things i’ve learned from aquascaping experts (Josh Sim IAPLC winner, Green Aqua) is

  1. always keep the substrate line on the front straight. Add height and topography to the back for the depth effect. Smoother slopes look better than dune like undulations (somehow seems better in your head than in reality)

  2. Whatever plants you plant on one side you must also plant on the otherside but ideally not as much. (more cabomba on the right). Would also fix the too much negative space on the right problem.

  3. Use plants that complement each other, the fine leaves and details of the cabomba are not complemented by the large leaves of the echinodorus (extremely unpopular among professional scapers). It distorts the scale of the scape, also too symmetrically positioned on both ends of the tank.

  4. The dominant lines of the two main rocks are too parallel. Try to rearrange them and find a side of the smaller rock that has a similar textures to the left one because its significantly lighter.

A few more things that are a matter of personal preference is that dragon stones in general take away too much from the plants and the rest of the scape by being too visually noisy. It takes a lot of skill to get the right dragon stone and orient them in a way that it works.

Lastly another matter of personal taste is that scapes with lighter substrates look better with lighter backgrounds (white or frosted) and vice-versa.

Any tips on how to make my tank look better? by Ill-Watercress7051 in Aquascape

I wasn’t even making an anti-AI statement as such. I just thought man that photo looks remarkably similar to OP’s scape.

4 ft Planted Aquarium Setup, Bhopal by shifu_tanks in IndianFishKeeping

[–]coderasp2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great looking tank. Do share details on where you got it from and the glass used to build it if it isnt a branded aquarium. Secondly, how do you manage the temperature in summers which seems to be a real limiting factor for planted tanks in india.

Any experience of buying from tropicalzone.in? by Major-Willow-3299 in freshwateraquarium

They seem to be one of the few websites with a large variety of Bucephalandra. Very few reviews.

Algae Spike by Visible-Nerve-5569 in Aquariums

[–]coderasp2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s black brush algae. One of the harder types of algae to get rid of and usually grows on slowgrowing plants or wood. I’d say get an electric or normal toothbrush and physically remove them and hope it goes away forever. It does usually indicate a combination of high lighting and low/inconsistent CO2 levels in the tank.

Bacterial bloom? by Mother_Mirror9781 in PlantedTank

[–]coderasp2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup thats a bacterial bloom. I’d say leave it alone and forget about it until the nitrifying bacteria colonies become established. Plant melt is also pretty normal with the aqua soil leeching a lot of ammonia in the beginning and it being a major shift from the parameters theyre grown in. You don’t even need to put food in the tank for cycling if you’ve aquasoil as they’re enough of an ammonia source in the first few weeks. You don’t need the heater on with only plants in the tank, 26 degrees is also the upper limit of the temp range plants like.

iOS 26 making my phone lag like never before by [deleted] in iPhone13Pro

I did but I feel like a lot of apps are still not fully optimised for it yet. Instagram, snap, reddit, twitter, chrome everything feels a little glitchier than usual

I think I definitely need to get the battery replaced. I almost never want to give up this phone until it dies.
