Looking great planted up so for - your scape tool is great ( I found for if you change things later on!)
I was thinking of setting up a pressurised CO2 system on my tank to help the plant growth. However, since using Black Earth substrate and a piece of driftwood my ph has dropped from its normal 7.4 to around 6.4.
I heard that using CO2 drops the ph by about one unit which would make it around 5.4. I know these fish come from soft water in the wild but is this going to be too low? Just wondering.
Interested in how this black earth works out long term. What I've read so far has been positive but there's not as much information as there is on Ada soils obviously. I prefer the cal aqua lily pipes to my do aqua pipes (which broke easily).
Nice growth for 3 weeks low tech mate 🙂
7 year old Amanos?! Wow!
It's pretty rare (to me) to ear about Amanos with much more than a couple of years. I didn't get Amanos, because I was told ate the time that they would only last around 1 year! But I've recently read that they can actually live for more than 10 years.
