The cube!

Looks great @Ryno, And the Hair Algae issue? Does the SAE not also munch it?

 

Looking good as always. Are the black dots on the glass snails or algae?

 

they eat a bit of the algae. #%#@#%#@@#%#@@#%%#@ snails! hate them

 

filled the one tray of my filter with AC and purigen. wait and see if the water gets 100% clear

 

Ryno - I'm sure they are helping to keep your tank clean :blink1: I've noticed that when I'm a bit lazy with gravel cleans they multiply like crazy. I suppose as long as they are not eating your plants they are serving a function. Think of them as a mini cleanup crew :laugh:

 

its ramshornsnails. i dont mind them but joh! they multiply!

 

The answer is a group of zebra loaches - Botia striata... trust me I've been battling ramshorns for ages... I've nothing against the critters... but they have NO idea of self restraint! They take a while to chomp them - but they DO!

3 ft - well, I see one small snail every 3 weeks... 2 ft - BAD infestation - added 3 zebras a few weeks ago - from thousands to 20's - get some!

 

i HAVE 2 OF THEM IN MY BIG TANK MISION TO CATCH THEM? WILL MAYBE BUY 4 OR 5 OF THE! TOMOROW

 

Buy 4/6 tomorrow.... then sit back for two weeks!

:smile1:

 

just dont want anything in there that can destroy the plants. im way to lazy to pic them out by hand

 

I have ramshorn and I think pond snails (conical shell, black with white spots - move seriously fast):laugh:

 

Well my nesaea is getteng a yellow copper tint, cabomba turning red. Blyxia reddish copper also my lymnophila* aromatica was green getting red also. Weird my rotala stays green. Also my wallichi is strugling? It grow very very very slow. Even my fissidens grows faster then the wallichi

 

That's cool man. So the CO2 is definitely working for your plants. Maybe the struggling plants need other fertz range to grow? Maybe more of one of the NPK then other?

 

was told now that limiting my nitrates will make the wallichi grow slow. yes when seachem ferts are finnishedi will get something else. maybe ada or tropica. or dsd. dont like the dry ferts

You definitely need a light over those Micro Swords. Think they won't carpet without light. In the first pic the water looks much better with that other unit over the tank. What tubes in that unit?

 

its the originals you get with it. the 10000k daylights and acnic. i need to sell my dual unit and get a quad!

 

Everytime I see this tank I am amazed by it's size. It is a really cool tank and the plants are looking pretty good. The "blonde" guppy is nice. Is it a mongrel or a pure strain?

To get your plants to go red tell them you can see their buds :embarrest: :bigsmile:

 

haha. its a mongrel but i dont want to just get rid of it on a bad way.
