    Melting becaue of fertilizer?

    I have some staurogyne growing in a tray for a few weeks. No issues so far until I sprinkled some fertilizer yesterday and some of them melted. Looks like those melted ones had fertilizer granulars on their leaves. Bad luck? Or because of the ferts.

    20inch external reactor

    Getting sick of my original up inline atomizer. After bleeching and scrubbing, i still can't get the fine mist back. So I'm switching to an external reactor using filter housing. Was looking at foxfish post on his DIY reactor...

    Feed brine shrimp (fries)

    Mine finally hatched and I took some to feed them but none of them seem to be interested. Neither the beta nor H. Rasbora are interested. Too small/Can't see them? Still waiting for a majority of my beta fries to stop sticking to the side and swimming horizontally before I start feeding them...

    Male Betta fish died while caring bubble nest

    After the eggs are laid, the male was guarding the bubble nest but it died in day 2. It was floating upside down. The tank has no filter and only about 2inches of water, and I didn't feed him during the breeding period. Bad water quality? Weak and exhausted?

    Fish gasping within 1-2 hours

    Having trouble recently with my co2. It was stable for a week until I found them at the water surface. Did an immediate water change and raised my outtake to break the water surface. I had been trying to tune down the needle valve for the past few days, until it was closed and I didn't...

    Failure of my DIY fish food

    So today I made a new batch and none of my fish liked it. I added Nori, Spirulina 100% pills, multi-vit pills/corn/spinach/paprika on top of the usual beef/shrimp/fish fillet/spinach. I almost puked at the smell of the spirulina pills after adding them to the mix. It was very strong. And I...

    Tuning Co2

    Hi, I bought a new UP inline atomizer to replace my internal cup diffuser. Without changing the needle valve and only increasing the working pressure, the fish are now hovering near the top of the surface. I have tried tuning down slightly the co2 twice over the past 2 hours but they are...

    Melting Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'

    Hi, Bought this a week ago and now I see melting all over. Is it still transiting to submersed form? I'm dosing EI with the drop checker being yellow when the lights are on. Single 24W T5HO for 6 hours a day for a 60x30x30cm tank.

    Angel fish nipping at glosso

    Hi, Bought a few marble angel fish and they started to nip on my glosso and hairgrass. The hairgrass seems to be more resistant to them. The leaves on the glosso are being torn by them and some are even uprooted while they continuously tug and pull them. Should I just sell them away? Or...

    drop checker turns blue overnight

    Hi, Am I degassing too much co2 overnight? Or am I wasting too much co2? It does turn lime yellow later when the co2 kicks in. I installed a new Jebao 204 1200 l/h canister filter for my 60x30x30cm tank. Spray bar is about 1-2 inch beneath the water level and pointing towards the front...

    Filter 10x turnover rate

    Hi, I see that it is often recommended to have a 10x turnover rate. Is this recommendation based on the rated flow rate or the actual rate? I have a 60x30x30cam tank and I'm thinking of getting a eheim classic 2217 1000 l/h filter for this 54L tank. Will it be too strong?

    NO3 dosage for Ca(NO3) [EI]

    Hi, KNO3 is not available in my area without a police permit, thus I bought CaNO3 from aquariumfertilizer.com. I'm restarting my 60x30x30cm tank from scratch and just flooded the tank for a week. DSM didn't work quite well because my plants were browning out after 2-3 weeks even with...

    Keeping Tropica 1-2-Grow pot for a longer period of time

    Hi, I have just bought a pot of Tropica 1-2-Grow from my local LFS but I'm not ready to plant it since I'm using the dry start method. Can it be kept in the pot for long under some sunlight and do I need to water it? Or should I just plant the Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' ? Thanks!

    Working guage for UP A-165

    So mine arrived today from Shenzhen, China. The working guage seems to be broken. The needle is not a 0 PSI when all the valves are opened. Even when there is working pressure, the needle will move but will not reset to 0. Is this faulty?

    Leaking regulator after water seepage

    So I took off my single gauge regulator to top up the tank and left it on the table. To my horror, water was dripping out slowly from the regulator despite having a check-valve. But now, the regulator is losing pressure when I test for leak. It is hissing from the gauge but I have not done a...
