Journal 2 . Finaly, 4ft 238l CLOSEING down today 1st May

Re: Journal 2 . Finaly, 4ft 238l updated 24th April

Just be patient! They'll drop as and when they feel the need. Anecdotal observations suggest feeding them up just how people do with fish helps increase success rates.

Such a good change, that first picture shows such improvement, even the aquascaping has evolved marvelously.

how are you raising the salinity, I've been reading about breeding amanos and was under the impression only infertile eggs were dropped as eggs where as the female will fan and release zoa's rather than eggs if they were fertile? Dusko has a very good read on breeding them on his blog and I suggest it's much simpler than we give credit for.

Re: Journal 2 . Finaly, 4ft 238l updated 30tth April

CONFUSED MOMENT,

I have noticed that even with my new t8 4 x 30w lights that i seem to have dark rear corners withing the tank?? How can i prevent this?? I also seem still to be haveing slow growing rotala compared to most others, Any ideas why this is? :crazy:
 
Re: Journal 2 . Finaly, 4ft 238l updated 30tth April

ok, i'm unfamiliar with T8 but with T 5...24w is 60cm wide, 39w is 90, 54w is 120 or there abouts.

if T8 is the same size, you may need to 'spread' them evenly across the tank?

This is the setup, they stretch right across the top, cant move em any more, how about ferts for that size? would that effect growth speed? Or is it my spirel difuser?
 
Re: Journal 2 . Finaly, 4ft 238l updated 30tth April

there shining through glass right? this may hinder some light. with these being t8 you'll be getting less light than expected.

I can see 4 tubes I think, stagger them. :thumbup: I wouldn't dose the 'full' EI dosing for that size tank, with that light. spiral diffusers IME are not great on such a big tank I'm afraid to say....Glass, or better still in line.
