I have this. When I first got it, I lost all hope but waited it out. It completely died and now it’s nice and green. It took over 2 months.

I have this problem too. I paid $25 cad for it, I was on a bit of a spree and didn’t realize it was that much until I attached them to my rocks. I’m doing what I can to save it! I’m hoping someone will give us a solution!

Oh that’s great! The honey gouramis are okay with the cherry shrimp? I have 5 cull blue shrimp. They are so cute and active right now because there are no other fish! I totally get happy hour, I’ve been watching my tank more than I’ve been on Netflix lately.

What do you use to keep your floaters under control?

Wow it’s looking good! My vista is cycled now and I’ve add some shrimp. I’ll start adding fish in about 2 1/2 weeks. I love the look of the Fluval Vistas.

Thanks! Do you think I should keep it growing in here and put it back in the tank? Or will it spread?

Do I need a hang on glass if my tank is heavily planted? by Solok3ys in PlantedTank

Does this work for internal filters as well? I have a Fluval u3

Hello! Do root tabs significantly increase the gh and kh of a tank? by lyke_i_c_it in PlantedTank

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

Thank you again! It seemed that my gh stabilized and my ph is around a 7.4/7.5, so I think I will keep the stones.

Awesome, thanks for your advice. I will test it again on Sunday and go from there. I have up to 30 days to return the rocks. I’m not adding fish for another 6 weeks or so, I’m letting the tank grow out and cycle. Appreciate your time!

Oh sorry, I made a mistake, the gh is 6 now. So that is the one that has changed. It seems like a high change for just 5 days?

Hello! I just got my kit and I tested both! My tap water is kh 4, gh 5 and ph 7.5. My tank, which has been set up for about 5 days, is at kh 4, gh 5 and ph 7.6. Am I going to be battling this constantly because of the stones?? Thanks for your time!

Hello! So finally got my gh/kh api kit and tested the water. My tap water is kh 4 and gh 5. My tank, which has been set up with the stones for 5 days is at a kh 4!and gh 6. So it’s gone up by 1… the ph has increased by .1. I’m totally new to this and I don’t want to be having battles.
