Hi all, I am setting up my new 130x85x55 aquarium with an overflow weir along the complete 130 cm back and a sump. For the first time in my 35 years of aquarium experience, I will go for a continuous CO2 injection, instead of of pH-controlled system. The tank is currently in dark-start modus...

to revive an older post: what do people now generally do when using 100% RO water with aquasoil, CO2, no stones that add KH and shrimps? Is it worth to toss in a bit of KH? I was thinking to just add MgSO4 and CaSO4 (and NPK daily dosing during the week). I used to have an inert substrate and...

I miss the reference: "multiple tank syndrome" :wacky: Yme

Thank you all! Great advice. I need to think about it, but I like the "foam"concept! Yme

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up a new tank with lots of heavy wood and stones. I bought these drainage cells to create a bit of height and to ensure sufficient flow under the hardscape. Now, should I fill these cells completely with small lava rocks, or can I should I leave the space...

unsure whether the following shops send to Denmark, but I get my micronutrients from Belgium, whereas I live in The Netherlands (so at least they ship abroad) BORMS - Micronutriënten You could also try: Welkom bij Aquariumbemesting.nl With the following shops I do NOT have personal...

That is great to hear! Yme

Hi Maq Thanks for your quick reply! You then also do not calibrate the ISE like a pH probe then? Like pH 7 and pH 4 calibration fluids to determine the value and slope. Perhaps best if I contact this firm directly :-) thanks! Yme

Hi Maq I am also interested in purchasing ISE for nitrate/(phosphate), but never encountered anyone using ISEs in aquarium settings. Could you perhaps elaborate a bit on how you connect the electrode to a measuring device? I see no device sold on their website specifically for ISE. Could you...

Hi again... I was a bit busy :-) I am dosing my micro's according to the CSM+B calculations based on EI-daily dosis. I really doubt that low macro's are the culprit, as they are not low. Some trace element issue is in my opinion also more likely. I will play around with the traces dosage...

They have already formed five or so new leaves, so I think we can rule out adaptation to the tank. But thanks for the suggestion!! :thumbup: Yme

maybe I should have mentioned N+P as well :-) I add 4 mg/l PO4 per week and 10 mg/l NO3 per week. when measured PO4 is around 2-3 mg/l and NO3 around 20 mg/l. and tank is 155x50x50 = 387 liter and I am indeed not unhappy with the tank. as said, a bit too much spot alge and a very little bit...

yes, but those leaves are in the process of unfolding, they always end up normal. (there is however too much green spot algae, but that has probably nothing to do with buce-issue) I mix indeed my own traces: the chelated I buy from this site: http://www.borms.eu/nl/e-shop/shop/micronutrienten...

and of course 50% WC per week

as of 3-4 months I dose full strength EI traces (apart from iron, which give at a lower dose) loosely based on CSM+B recipe. (I buy dry ferts and mix them myself) I started this tank giving the plants 1/3 EI traces, but this was not sufficient for the staurogyne repens. it was really small...

and probably it does not help: but this is how my tank looks: quite crowded with plants, but still a nice flow because of the Vortech

thanks for the answers! It is nice to see that I am not the only one with this "problem" and that some species are completely unaffected and other are. In my case, Bucephalandra motleyana melawi is most affected. and 5-10 species not all (need to look up again their names) Since I have an...

hi! I am noticing that some bucephalandra species that I have in my EI-style, low light, high CO2 tank are not quite happy. New leaves are not "opening" completely and stay "curled". I wondered whether anyone has similar experiences and what the possible cause is. thanks, Yme

well, I think I know where the colour of my aquarium water is coming from... tapwater after adding the week amount of traces (minus Fe) to mimic the maximum build-up in the tank after adding the week amount of Fe to mimic the maximum build-up in the tank would it be wise to lower the...

too little? After the readdition of sera mineral salts and CaCl2/CaSO4, the water should contain around 50 mg/l. (Mg: 14 mg/l, K: 27 mg/l)

thanks for the answers! @Greenfinger2: I don't think it helps: CO2 is high, light is low and I have a vortech mp20 (forgot to mention it) so all the plants are gently moving in the current @xim: the water in the tub is indeed the water from my aquarium after a week of adding ferts. as I use...

Although I joined the ukaps forum 6 years ago, I never really posted on this forum.... But now I really hope to get some great input from you! I have a couple of problems that I can not solve, despite 6 months trying... This is the tank: The main problem is that the new leaves of the...

hi! my first post at this forum (without introduction: how rude!) (normally I just post at barrreport.com) anyway: I read sometimes this forum and I noticed this thread and especially the post by keymaker. 50 ml/50 l/day seems a factor 10 too high, considering the sentence following this...
