Also I'd start testing with easy plants and wait until they show progress. It may all be connected to a new tank, bacteria colonies developing etc. One simple plants work in thus tank with that setup, id suggest to add me demanding plants. That way You will narrow the area of what is actually...

I got two externals and the spray-bar attached to both outcomes. One spraybar over the leght-two filters outcomes. Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk

Just noticed you had no problems with long leaves in the second scape at all. Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk

Totally see the progress and agree. I'm usually struggling with long leaves of valisneria stopping the water circulation. Had to adjust the scape&trimm the leaves. Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk

I suppose the bubbles from the spray bar should hit the front glas and go down and backwards, not end up at the surface immediately. Not easy thing really. Good luck Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Everyone should read dosing salts and other tutoriald here on UKAPS :) then Clives comments and then perhaps Walstad :) yeah it's one of those not commercial aqua books.I like it too. Paid 40quit for it man. Good luck! P Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

peroxide. Sorry that was my phone sending before I was ready:) I think the plants will do it's job and once you get the balance sorted all ok.Good luck Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

I believe in the "within ecology" way Martin.personally i wouldn't put anything toxic such hydrogen Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Oh I see Martin. In that case I would suggest to approach it from the other side.more health y fast growing plants ?! if you don't want to touch your scape try floating plants,lots floating plans. Or even just ceratophyllum demersum and let it flow loosely?! Once the plants take over, those...

Good luck I meant Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

I know Clive is gonna eat me alive but otos r gonna love to help u for the start and after that u never gonna see the diatoms again,promisse.cyanobacteria is offten connected with low nitrates and low flow at the same time. Increase dosing of kno3, make sure not dead spots concerning flow, get...
