Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Got back, no problems with the fish. Although everything is covered in the brown algae from new tanks. It's now covering everything. So am going to get out the gravel vac to try and clear it and do a water change as there's a oily film on the surface. There...

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Update today... Unfortunately, one of my Harle's died the other night in QT after trying to treat it for redness to the body and white growth one one side. Anyway, the plants seem to be doing better now I've got the CO2 and lights automated. They're bubbling...

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Sorry another question.... can the gravel be too deep above the substrate? I've been getting worried about my carpeting plants not being able to reach the substrate, or will the nutrients be released up through the gavel by water circulation?

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Will it recover?

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Forgot to mention that I tied the Anubias to some driftwood and just slightly covered it in gravel. and another photo of my shrimp as one was near the glass...

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Cool, its mainly the crypts. One of the Pogostemon helferi but I guess cos I found it floating yesterday.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Do plants go through like a phase when in a new tank? A few of the leaves are going yellow and some of the stems are no see-through. Wondered if I should be worried.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Today I swapped my danios and tiger barbs plus £20 for 20 harlequin rasboras and 10 cherry shrimp at the LFS. Some photos... Cherry Shrimp Harlequin Rasboras

Looking good already.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank I've managed to get two plug timers now, at the min, the lights are on from about 4pm till 10:30pm. Is that long enough? Whats the best time to have my CO2 switched on? It's running at 1bps at the min.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank Thanks fella. I have enjoyed scaping the tank, helps that I've been thinking of what to do since our visit to TGM so taken the time out and not rushed things. I'm just very chuffed that it looks so good.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank See if I can do that without them floating away.

Re: Superman's First Planted Tank I didn't tie the anubias onto the rock, prob should of done really and will have to do that tonight if I get chance. No doubt planting at like 1am isn't a good thing sometimes! :roll: I think I have pushed the roots next to the rocks in the gravel. Is there a...

I started at 7pm tonight with a Domino's Pizza break at about 9pm and I've just finished. Therefore, I won't be typing up too much tonight but will show you the final shots so that you all have tomorrow to comment on it and suggest changes etc. I'll write up a bit more of a journal tomorrow...

Re: My new nameless scape! Looks fantastic! I love the tall red plant in the middle.

Re: My new nameless scape! Thanks Graeme, I appreciate what you mean re the distribution system. 20kgs, wow that seems a lot but expect that the rocks are heavy anyway. The only online distributor of that rock is the online aquarium store and I've had a bad experience with them recently, so...

Re: My new nameless scape! I must of missing this one previously, this is along the lines of what I'm looking to do - obviously not copy it but that style! That rock and substrate look superb and might just have to find some for myself. How much weight in those rocks would you say you've used...
