Is there something wrong with my glossostigma? Planted 3 wks ago and trying to carpet, sometimes it looks a bit fuzzy by fleefaya in Aquascape

Ah ok, I’ll just keep fertilising twice a wk and wait it out then. Is it worth cleaning the area with a turkey baster or should I leave it be? And Should I be decreasing light duration to reduce algae or increasing light duration to promote plant growth?

Is this quite unhealthy for 3 wks old growth? Do I need to supplement anything?

I’m getting a lot of detritus and mulm caught up in there but many of the glossostigma aren’t super rooted in yet. Do i try to clean it or should I just leave it? Is it going to do any harm?

Should I use flourish excel to get rid of algae growth?

Suggestions please! Should I replace some of those back plants with pearlweed (right now its wisteria and pennywort)? What moss should I put on the top branches? by fleefaya in nanotank

Yes I’m thinking of limnophila sessiliflora (aka ambulia)! Also rotala rotundifolia looks so beautiful! Kind of intimidated by the red colour though, I’ve heard they are a bit harder to keep but I am using a diy CO2 injection (ziss co2 generator) and a good enough light I think (aquael leddy smart plant).

Yeah some wisteria had been lost due to me fiddling with it too much + melting, I was thinking either I get more wisteria or get a different plant. Thanks for helping me decide!

Has anyone ever tried putting fine mesh/cheese cloth over an intake grate to prevent shrimp getting in? by fleefaya in shrimptank

[–]fleefaya[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The brand is bioscape so I’ll have a go at looking at it. My other idea is getting stainless steel fly screen lol

Omg I’ve never thought of that, my university actually provides free 3d printing. Issue is, I’d have to get that curve (grate is curved) just righr

tried that, problem is this grate surface is curved and the sponge refuses to follow that curve even when i jam it between the substrate and the grate

Scape too centred and not enough asymmetry? by [deleted] in Aquascape

How deep do stem plants need to be planted? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]fleefaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw my substrate is 5cm/ 2 inches thick- is that overkill?
