Hey guys. I hope that non-UKers are allowed to post their tanks?
Anyway, here's what my tank currently looks like. I trimmed the stems about a week ago. Yesterday I removed about 1 inch of glosso from the glass as it was building up and creating spawning areas for green slimy algae.
Here are the specs
36" x 18" x 18" tank with cabinet and hood
DIY 4x 36W PLL Philips lighting with reflectors 8 hours per day
Eheim 2215 + Fluval 105
Pressuried CO2 injected via reactor at 1-2 bps
ADA Aquasoil
Flora:
Rotala sp Green
Rotala Rotundifolia
Hemianthus Micranthemoides
Microsorum Pteropus "Narrow"
Blyxa Japonica
Anubias Nana
Glossostigma Elatinoides
Pogostemon Helferi
Spiky moss
Fauna:
White Cloud Mountains from my cousin that just won't quit
Bloodfin tetras
Harlequin rasboras
Siamese algae eaters
Golden algae eater
Otos
Corydoras sterbai
Yamato shrimps
1 lonely RCS that got caught by accident while I was trying to catch Yamatos at the LFS
Dosing:
Started EI about a month ago, currently dosing about 1/2 the recommended ppms. I use Seachem Iron and Trace as well. Any idea how much Trace I should be using? I dose about 24ml per week at the moment.
I'm having problems with some GSA. I don't mind them on glass as I can easily scrape them off. But they appear on my glosso too in patches. Any ideas? I tried boosting PO4 by dosing 4x the weekly amount but it doesn't seem to help much.
