Hi , it has seen better days and will be getting more plants. Suggestions for easy plants will be welcomed. Have a nice day.
Tank1: Substrate = gravel Tank= 30L Light = clip on lamp 24w for 3 hours on and off 2 hours and 4 hours on. Filter= 2x elite hush 10 hob. Water changes 40% weekly Ferts= Sera Florena 5ml weekly and florenette A (root tabs) Tank2: Substrate = gravel 1ft = 15L Light = Radiant 4000k Ferts = sera Florena 3ml and root tabs water changes 40% weekly
Are you talking about BBA (black brash algae)? Then exel dose will help stop it. Try add more water to the tank so the water line is higher so les CO2 can get out or in with douse filter because a flaks in CO2 = BBA
6-8 hours is the standard.. How much was it on previously? Lights on for too long and inconsistent CO2 can cause BBA. If u dose excel, that can prevent BBA..
Previously 10 hours, after adding Flourish excel the BBA did start to die. Am i correct in saying that,more light = more growth.
more growth as in plants? or algae? its simple, more lights = more carbon (CO2) & ferts.. works the same if you change that formula more carbon = more lights and ferts more ferts = more carbon and lights so if you increase your lights without increasing the other 2 variables, you may get algae..
The challenge is to hide the equipement in such a way that - if you know where to look - you can still see if it's working. For starters: try to hide the thermometer out of view, but in a place where YOU can still see it AND check the temperature.
