2 weeks later, and the situation is getting even better, i kept the same routine, same light, same co2, same ferts from last update. There is still some minor hair algae, mostly on older leaves. I guess it will eventually go away. Most plants seem to grow just fine. Rotala h'ra is taking a bit...

Hey guys, last 10 days have been quite positive for most of the issues on my aquarium. First thing i did was upgrading my light to setting 4/7 (seems like i was on setting 3/7 the whole time). For the first 5 days, the tank was running without CO2 and i managed to somehow get rid of all the...

Hi, just wanted to give you a little update on the progress for this week so far. I ended up lowering the light to the 2/7 setting, which is quite low. The green algae started receding, aswell as my stem plants. Lower leaves started melting and the stems got even thinner(snapping almost by...

Little update on the situation here. It's been almost 2 weeks since i cleaned everything and lowered the lighting unit (100% power). Ferts are still the same, so is CO2. After the cleanup: Today: From those images we can clearly see that the light increasment made it easier for...

Hi, i was adding 11.5ppm of N(15.5 if you consider TAP water), 16ppm of K, 2ppm of Mg of ferts weekly despite the low light for 3 weeks. Also i would like to add that i tried every kind of fert regimen, from lean dosing to full EI, and both systems still get me algae. Thats why i tried tropica...

Hi, here's another update on my aquarium. So for the last 3 weeks i lowered the ammout of light by placing it 23 cm (instead of 5cm) above the surface of the water, this would get me around 40-50 par at the substrate, which is medium/low light. I thought this would definetely solve any CO2...

Hi, i would say you're right about fertilization, it is true that one of my problems could be my calculations, and thats why i switched to tropica fertilization. To take that out of the way, you know...So here's my ferts regimen: NPK solution = 275ml 13g K2HPO4 23g KNO3 38g KCL per 10ml...

Hi, here i come with another update, hoping to get some advices this time. For the most part, everything looks worst, even if some plants are growing, i would say the algae outgrow the plants by a large ammount. The worst being the condition of monte carlo, which is only attracting algae at this...

Hi guys. So i did a couple things in order to find a definitive solution for my algae problem. Here's what i did: Day 1: -100% water change. -Removed the entire substrate and washed it in the shower. The ammount of debris/dust/mud was unbelievable. -washed all the plants/hardscape. -Placed...

https://imgur.com/a/ukfDKew Hi, just to give you an update. Plants are getting more and more algae and health in general is getting worse. I also see an increase in debris (small brown stuff) on plant leaves and on the substrate. Rotalas are getting greener. Myrioph. started uprooting (no roots...

I would say that if its really caused by high organics, then the root of the problem might be whats inside (fish,wood,substrate and plants if poor health) in the first place. I don't think that fish or wood might play a huge role in here since i experimented taking out some wood after a blackout...

I've already killed most of the bga with a blackout(i guess h2o2 or any treatment that works would do the same) a couple times and it worked wonderfully, but since the real issue wasn't solved, the thing always came back fairly quick. What i assume by this is that i my tank is unbalanced, and...

Me too!!!! this avatar was made by me on paint when i was 15, used to come here every now and then as i loved aquascaping. BTW i am now 25 :nailbiting: time flies There is a imgur link, but i'll post some more pics when i get home.:)

Hi all. I have been quite busy dealing with algae for the last couple months. Even tho i adressed most of the common issues (CO2, flow, nutrients, light), i am still strugling trying to find a good balance between all those elements. Algae, BGA for the most part, is still being chased. Now from...

Hi! had already been some time since i updated the topic. The main reason was the lack of motivation in relation to the aquarium. No filter for 5 months and with a well-known pest of hobbyists (mainly cyanobacteria) I ended up neglecting the aquarium. Tired of seeing the aquarium or just do...

thanks! 60% water change weekly (running on a 200L/H filter cause the fluval is leaking) excell and profito everyday and pruning plants good point! guthix being the god of nature i thought it was an original name.For the pic, i love drawing on paint and gimp, and of course, i love animes...

Hi! Here I am,this is the first time, it is a pleasure for me being with professionals. I would like to share my last setup with you all, it is called Tears of guthix. This aquascape is 2 months old, but i leave you these photos here: And how the aquascape looks now: Setup...
