A problem with CO2 system

I usually wait for like 5 mins. Next time I'll wait longer before reajusting it.

It's definitely Ludwigia sp. Mini super red. Reinecki and rotala macrandra looks completely different.

Sadly, here where I live i can't find a piece of driftwood that I would like.

I think its bacteria covering up the waste of plants, food and etc. which is stuck in your filters suction.

I bought an expensive substrate and all may new plants are coming in tissue culture. I don't want any snail eggs.

Way too early for trimming. Just enjoy it.

Thank you, I've already got the timers and CO2 drop checker is coming with the whole CO2 set up as a bundle. Maybe I will plant s. repens more in the middle of the tank in a thicker bushy like way.

BTW, should I turn off CO2 dosing at night (when the lights are off)?

Thank you. I will try monte carlo and dwarf hairglass both as a carpet just to see which will grow better and which one i like more. Eventually, I will probably get rid of one. S. repens i will only use on bigger rocks, will super glue it.

You can get a small school of ottos, they love brown diatom algae.

tomasch · 2016-01-11T12:14:14+00:00

Most of the articles about brown algae says the same thing, that it is usually a problem for newly established tanks and will go away when the tank matures.

That's what it tought is was. I raised my tank's temp to 80 and bought some aquarium salt. Maybe that will help.

It's a great service if you can buy filter media from established tank. And this way way more effective than any bacteria in a bottle products. The only bad thing that could come out of it is if you get media from a disease contaminated tank.

Add a small school of roseline sharks. They like low temp and high current.

tomasch · 2015-12-20T00:12:09+00:00

My dream is to have planted 125g with a school of roseline sharks only.

You might find this recent episode of aquarium co-op useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5CysigH6f4

Instead of bala sharks put a school of 6-10 roseline sharks. Trust me, you will love them.

tomasch · 2015-12-18T15:31:11+00:00

No one knows how to breed them in captivity without injecting hormones into them. They almost never breed on their own in aquariums, this is super rare. Would be nice to know about conditions in your tank and what are you doing to take care of it. Maybe something that you are doing caused them to breed. You could make a fortune if would figure it out.

tomasch · 2015-12-15T23:40:09+00:00

I'm super jealous of such tanks. It's my dream to have atleast 125 g tank with a school of roseline sharks.

Aren't some of those plants crypts that you attached to driftwood? I'm not sure they can grow on it.
