Definitely MC!So that's good!As you wrote as your levels of light and CO2 are lower it will take longer,but will get there.

Strange,also under fairly low lighting it should carpet.Are you sure it's not M.micrantimoides(excuse if spelling is off!).Post a picture if possible.

Number 6 looks like Rotala sp. colorata.

Thanks Tim!I removed it on the weekend whilst doing my water change.Was the wrong plant in the wrong place.Gave it to someone who needed it.

Was sold just over 2 weeks ago as Ludwigia glandulosa,but looks more like Ludwigia repens to me.What do you guys think?

Thanks for your reply! I thought as much.Would it be advisable to remove the affected areas of Riccardia or just let it sort itself out and the shrimp clean it up a bit? Actually this evening some pieces are looking are showing tiny tiny improvements.Not out of the woods by a long way but hopeful!

Agree with the 2 comments above.Fingers crossed they will bounce back.Have also experienced a similar situation.Change of light if stronger could possibly be the cause as the plant would require more CO2.

This set up is only been running for about 2 weeks.But really struggling with Riccardia.Very quickly started to turn brown/black/grey and melt.I had used some liquid carbon initially and that could have been a problem.But the past 7 days have not been using it and have done numerous water...

It looks like a good invention Kirk.Looking forward to reading how it works in it's 1st outing:)

Hi,i can say as long as you don't have a massive tank Salty shrimp bee mineral GH+ will last absolute ages.You will probably lose it before you finish it:)You need such a small amount to raise the GH of RO water.As you have probably read it says it contains various elements/minerals for the...

Compliments!Just be flicking through shot after shot of excellent plants!Top stuff:clap:

Hi,you could try moving the atomiser to just below your power head/out flow so the co2 bubbles get pushed across the back of the tank hit the side wall and come back across the frount of the tank.That way if the flow is sufficent you should get much better co2 coverage.I would also raise the...

PH is fine for your crystals as is TDS.KH is high but yours is a planted tank not a shrimp tank.If the GH is 5 or 6 then that would be great.Have to see how they get on with the co2 and ferts.Best of luck!

Agree with that.
