Troys new tank

Did a 40% water change. Hopefully that will help with that white stuff?

 

take a photo so we can get a good idea of ur problem

 

Pics are on my laptop, Cant get it to connect on the internet. Will post as soon as it works

 

sob

 

computer fixed yet for pics? and next time you go to a nice petshop, TAKE ME WITH!

 

havent been really active in a while. Usually log on just to fall asleep. I sorted troy with some spiky and java. I did two of those root trees in my amazona tank. I put thin fronds of spiky moss over the wood and added a strand or two of java then tied it in a spiral with thread. Starting to grow out but for now im trimming it flat so it will attach and spread, trying to create a look of a riverbed covered waterloged, moss covered old roots. . As if the trees were drowned in a flood long ago.

 

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the moss.

As for the white stuff, i cant get a pic for a while, this is one i got off the net

Another piece sank last night, just one more to go. Still no new plants

 

wow dude.. thats defn a bacterial infection

not an expert on this one.. but when it happened to me, my tank was very new.. i scrubbed it often and it went away.. but dont take my word for it.. i also didnt add any fish during when this happened

 

Snails i got from Ferryman are in there, Maybe they will eat it? Will scrub it off when i get home and do another water change

 

im no expert so i cant really help u on this one.. any1 else?

btw, what substrate u using?tht looks like the aqua soil they have overseas??

oh crap.. i only read ur post properly now its a pic off the net.. got me excited 4 a min

and also, if it were me, id rather leave the tank and let it balance out by itself.. the tank will go through many diff phases (very fustrating) untill it becomes balanced..

but thats just my opinion..

 

From what I've seen on a few people's nano tanks, that white film stuff is loved by Otos.

 

I had that before dosing with CO2.
I'm running a 5liter Sugar/Yeast Mixture at the moment.

 

Think it needs Co2?

Still trying to figure out how im going to do it.
Think i will add one today and see what happens after a week or so

 

I dont think it needs CO2.

I'm only recalling what happened in my tank, I had the white film on the rocks and on the surface of the water.
I then tried the CO2 and bam, within 24hours and a 25% water change the slimy white film was gone.

 

Hmmm alright. Well i guess i will just leave it. Maybe it will get sorted out on its own

 

My otos ate everything except the white stuff.
It looks like something that grows where there might still be some live matter or something like that .

 

i had that on the new wood in my 3ft tank. It went away without tamper. Apples chowed on it untill it went away on its own, i just ignored it and planted and stocked my tank gradually

 

A little update. Thanks Ferryman for the moss. Going to add more to the others once i see the 'sample' on growing.

Plants that were dying have indeed started new leaves! Added 60w light bulb behind them lol.
Hair grass is also growing.
Colour is going brown again but a few water changes over the month should sort it out.
Seems to be very brown but its just the wall colour behind it

Awaiting more plants when i get the chance





P.S gave the wood a clean, 2 hours later it started appearing again lol....oh well

P.S.S is there anything in there that is BL?

 

whered u get the wood frm!?!nice

 

Comming along nicely Troy. I would try some flame moss on some of those pieces as other moss will grow very bushy and hide you wood completely and it is such nice pieces. Almost something like in the attachment.
