I recently scrapped my old setup to start afresh as I was battling with bba.
The elephant skin stones were acid washed.

I know that the aquasoil will be depleted of its nutrients so I intend on using osmocote root tabs buried around 15cm deep.

I plan on setting up the light @ 50% for 6 hours...

Will I have any issues with algae?

I need a bit of help ID'ing this random red pouch thing. It's not there anymore and disappeared now :| (not sure if it's been eaten, or hatched or what).

Any help is highly appreciated it. Thanks!
