I apologize for the late response, I had to travel for a bit and had someone else tending to my tank I've just increased micro and potassium by +2ml per day and iron +1 (my micro doses small amount of iron so this lower iron dose offsets the amount of iron i need to dose per shot) I use a diy...

Wow great replies, ill do what's suggested and jeep you guys updated. I wasn't getting notifications so didn't check in on the thread. I've been letting it idle for now to see how it bounces back with co2 but its lacking in recovery

That algea isn't really on anything else but I'll change up the % and do some research

It's on for 10hrs a day and just a super dim light for a few hrs Main reason for siesta is that the location of my tank gets pretty good light from the living room and back door and dining area windows so I tone it down mid day

Diatoms, those brown/black root things? Yes they are developing those It's been a slow decline for the buce, it was in amazing condition when I got it

Buce about a year, its been struggling since, there is no current at the bottom but maby I could place it by the bubbler? Would lack of current really cause it to deteriorate like that?

Ok I'll adjust the uv to run longer as mentioned What about the buce? Appreciate the info I also have a lot of pothos rooted in the aquarium, do you think they are starving the column of fertilizer?

This is my wysteria and my amazon sword Rooted in 1" soil no tabs (should i use tabs) and an auto fertilizer (potassium, iron and micronutrients), co2 injection (co2 was down for a couple weeks due to a power outage and no realizing the smart plug was off) this is 4 weeks post hooking co2 back...

Found a tote, he's tucked inside the rake driftwood and thw driftwood is in there with a bubbler and a heater, will sort out filtration later today Thanks

I'll look into that in the a.m.

I have been trying to house him separately but can't get him out of the fake driftwood (it's hollow) and its don't have anything large enough to place this fake driftwood in to seperate him

I have ich in my tank from a couple of cherry barbs but my tank also has a matano crab, my main question is can a matano crab handle 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of aquarium salt? Since I can't run rid ich and I also can't remove the crab from his hiding place (he's in a large fake peice of...

You answered everything Thanks

So I've noticed my fert mixes don't include calcium, could/should I add some powdered calcium carbonate to my 65g tank? It's heavily plants and stocked with 20 fish (including two pleco), 1 crab, 1 crayfish my overall parameters are fine, i dont need to alter the hardness, should I consider...

I'm going to go with a slow start, I'll keep my co2 in check and divide the amount of fertilizer needed per week into daily doses and dose it daily for iron, potassium sulfate, micronutrients and I'll alternate potassium sulfate with phosphate throughout the week. Hopefully this gives my plants...

I'll keep a close eye

The line on top is just a bleed off line that extends out of the water with an open/close valve. Since all the co2 gets trapped in there, there will always be a small amount of left over gas even after 100% dissolution. If you observe passive co2 diffusion youll see that a 1L bottle will...

Just thought I'd share my little co2 project for my 65g. I rigged up a co2 fire extinguisher for about $30 (extinguisher, connectors, timed plug for auto on/off at the cylanoid). I also made my own bell/diffuser with on old whiskey bottle, drilled a hole for the input off a small filter and a...

My 2 goldfish have developed white looking scale "spots" I'm not too familiar with goldfish as they are relatively new (1yr) and have been fine until I noticed these white scales today. I'm confident it's not ick. Water parameters are good Goldfish flakes for food and alternate with goldfish...

It's just what I have on hand, dry mixes are on the way
