It grew another couple more centimeters over the past 24 hours and is very close to the top of the water. Will post a pic when it/if it opens.

Are some of the plants in the photos turning clear?

Try removing things like the plastic filter bits scrub them clean and bathe them in peroxide.Can the plant(anubias?) be removed from the water? If so take it out of the water and mist the affected area with peroxide too. Has this shown up recently, I remember a previous post about exel, Has this algae shown up after a change in youre maintenance routine?

Do you have pictures of the tank Bradly?

:hey:hello

THANKS

Sounds like the amount you are adding is not a whole lot. Plants will grow slower and you may have a little more algae show up in the tank. I think the vals will grow back in time.

Others may know more than i though.

probably not what you are looking for but just trying to help

I use the nutrifin master test kit(overkill as i do not need all the tests).I used the kit and saved my plants especially the ludwigia repens from low iron in my tank. Do not own any other test kits.

Good score NL. Nature provides.

Very nice biodives. I regret not dirting my tank at the get go the plants look great. I have found that the iron in my tank is very low on city water. Do you have to dose xtra iron to the water?

Hello

So I got tired of looking through my tanks and seeing the hoses and cables running down in behind them. Painting the glass on the backside of the tank black was going to be a pain in the butt. So I looked around and spotted my wifes neoprene workout matt. I unrolled it and found it to be the perfect length to wrap around the sides and back. I added strips of velcro to the matt and sides of the tank to hold it on. he tank is a tall 66 gallon sitting in the basement which is much cooler than the rest of the townhouse in the winter. What i got is a 1 cm thick insulating black background. Seems to work great.

For my 54 gallon tank upstairs I found a roll of foam(i think it is also neoprene)liner for kitchen drawers at wall mart in black worked like a charm for that tank too.

If you have a tank already set up or one you would like to insulate a bit, this may be a good option.

Hello Aquanaut.

54 gallon corner tank Carib Sea Eco-Complete Planted - Standard - Black 20 long Seachem Flourite Red

Phenacogrammus Interuptus(congo tetra) are spawning. No xtra tank for them to do their thing in and everybody in the tank knows. Male and female are setting themselves up in the top of my wisteria in the front corner casting eggs and the other fish are waiting for the free lunch. Frustrating situation

The nautilus is missing a tank, Captain Nemo will not be happy.

Wicked looking rig
