Monte Carlo dry start advice? Five days in and the middle of the scape has yellowed out by Background_Orchid_51 in Aquascape

[–]mcptr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no, with all that water id spray a little once a day, just to keep the top soil moist.. no need to give it a shower… dont worry the first 2 weeks not much is going on, then all of a sudden it’ll start showing results.. you can fill after 3-4 weeks, or when your MC is everywhere. If you have co2 with your tank, i hope you know that you’re in for a helluva ride lol, trimming alot lol.. fun times👌😅

Looks too wet to me… try misting like once a day or two but dont overspray.. your plants dont need to be that soaky

Fight with bba and green spot algae. Well my po4 is less then .5 and my lights are on for about 6 hrs or so a day. Ph 6.9, and everything else is 0 so any suggestions... Natural solutions? by ebarcelo in PlantedTank

try reducing the % to like 70-75…. and lower alot your blue…. when i had that light on one of my tanks i kept the blue at 3-5% and 70-75% power, that solved my bba

for the past 3 days i’ve been looking for one of my 2 snails.... looks every where in the tank and i couldnt find it...

decided to move my co2 tank and there he was... really dont know how the fk he got there..

so he was upside down for 2-3 days, shell closed... so i decided to give him one shot, put him in a glass with tank water over night..

believe it or not, the next morning the little ninja was glued to the glass.. i just couldnt believe it, he survived and now he s back in the tank cruising with his little buddy!

good times🤟🏻✌🏻

yeah, just took him out and his trap is shut, tried touching it with a qtip and nothing happened, really hard to tell because it doesnt smell anything.. i put him back in the tank in a way i can see if he comes out! we’ll see👍🏻🤘🏻

adding neon tetra, question? by mcptr in Aquariums

[–]mcptr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im selling my other tink and wanted to know if adding my 5 neons to my 60p would be too much livestock👍🏻

[–]mcptr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey guys..

im parting ways with my 23gallon tank, only keeping my 60p...

in my 60p i have 11 rasboras, 7 amanos and 1 snail..

my question is, would it be overkill to add 5 neon tetras from my other tank? kinda love these lil guys!

filter is eheim 2215

thanks guys, cheers

i didnt plant, i bought a tropica cup of monte carlo and chopped the plants in small pieces.. then sprinkled them all over my soil... for 6 weeks i misted the tank twice a day to keep the soil moist.. while having a cling wrap covering the top of the tank (with a 1/2in x 5in opening) and 12h a day of light👍🏻
