Did I water change today. The algae is more hard and flat no fuzzy stuff.. (maybe bc it's still producing?) Anyways I will leave it a lone until I see things getting worse. It would of been nice to get some algae eating critters,. It my Betta would probably eat them lol.

since there are no responses. i just wanted to post a pic of the algae growing to possibly ID so i can research it some more before i scrape it away. If it is not harmful i may just leave it a lone as it is pretty to me :-) Here is a quick pic of the stone effected...

My plants are holding up, this one has developed roots all along it's stem, not sure if i should pluck them away. But I'am positive the other is just going to die away shortly, as you can see edges are going white. Your thoughts? Some new pics...

I have this tank, here is the info on light and filter, if it helps you. 7500khigh, (35 white LE Ds) 460nm blue LEDs. And the filter does 53gph.

I wouldn't add plants that are not aquarium safe, some plastics will breakdown as mentioned already. Toney that is a great idea!

Julie how much Flourish do you add, as I was trying to calculate the amounts for my plants, in my fluval v. It came down to one thread in the cap once a week after a water change. Also let water sit for a day with dechlorinate liquid before adding any Flourish.. the good people on this forum...

Ok good to know thx!

I thought Java moss needs higher light , is it the same across all moss variety? I can try it too.

Haha funny, like swatters lol

Was the Java moss placed close up to the light , how was your placement? Ludwigia type plant needs higher light I don't want to risk it.

I've come to find I will try these plants, Anubias Nana Lobelia cardinalis mini I would like to try also moss but I read they need higher light. I'm also thinking of adding driftwood and attach the Anubias to it. What do you think, these are ok?

Awesome to hear. Does this mean you'll have to use these chemicals every time in order to get clear water?

Any updates, iam curious how this goes.

Hi, yes the two dark ones are mollies, other is platy. The platy look pregnant to me. I can't tell but I hope you have enough females to male ratio?

Looks good so far.

Thank you.

I understand, atm i've not bought any new plants and these are slowly almost gone. It's too bad bc i really liked these. I'm just waiting for another plant sale at my LFS and i will do my research of course to make sure they are low-light-plants and not demanding. I may just buy the suggested...

How did you go with this, any chances of a picture?

From what I understand, cloudy water can be from various reasons. Bacteria, food waste, fish waste, uncycled, gravil residue, ornaments, high PH, over stocked, and filter needs a squeeze bc it's goged up. I have the same tank with a single Betta. I'd suggest you perhaps get your water fully...

I seen these loaches at my LFS, they do they big wow. But they are pretty interesting to watch. Maybe you should consider Corey cats?

Very nice never seen plants like this. I do like the balloon mollies. Btw, you might wanna remove that hose pushing water, it's blowing your fish they seem stressed. I hope it doesn't knock them against anything.

Will those plants die too or will I waste money.

Hi just want to say plant is going dead. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0_K1FZY2wgBZDgzOG9DM0liOVk/view?usp=drivesdk

Ahh maybe that would explain why in the past my Anabis grew fine while everything else died.

The info I found out the light is. 7500k high, (35 white LE Ds) 460nm blue LEDs. And the filter does 53gph.

I added the Flourish today mixed with some water. Here is the pic... i just realized i used tap water and not tank water... what to do now... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0_K1FZY2wgBd0F6ODRjSFctWm8/view?usp=drivesdk

Yes, i wasn't able to find the time to search for a dropper. But my new plants leafs are turning black and the stems clear, it is slowly dying much like the other.

Still not sure how much Flourish to add. I did a water change this morning and the new plant had die off :( i added one thread line of dechlorinate to the tap water instead of a full cap. Tomorrow I will be add-in Flourish to the tank. Is one thread on the cap ok?

I just tested my aquarium water here are the results. Aquarium Water Natrate 0 Ammonia 0.25 Natrate 5.0-10 hard to tell Ph 7.6 Ph High 7.4 Tape Water Nirite 0 Ph 7.6 Ammonia 0.50-1.0 cant tell Nitrate 0 Note: The bottle of Flourish says "Use 1 capful (5ml) for each 250L (60Gals) once or twice...

Nice wow.

Okay. I always was told any extra conditioner added isn't going to harm, so I put a full cap in the bucket. So do you suggest half a cap of conditioner in the bucket of new water. My bucket is 10kg not sure what's that in litres, but I do half of the bucket. Note. My Hygraphila plant has lots...

I use nutrafin Betta+ conditioner 1cap full. I always do half the tank water changes. So if I understand, Water change 50% once a week. Use flourish once a week, and day after water change add a cap. Note. Since I already added all three seachem products yesterday should I start over do a...

I only add the supplements each water change, which is every 1-2 weeks. That said I don't do a full cap (from bottle) as it states that is for 10galls as I have 5. (19l). I'm not sure which GH. I live in Vaughan, Ontario which is north of Toronto here in Canada. Another note. It's the fluval...

It is called, Seachem plant pack fundamentals level 1. Flourish, flourish excel, flourish iron. The Hygrophilas has nice roots but it keeps dying away.

Thx for the info. I may switch to fake ones, since I'm having a difficult time with live plants. Just got one live new today, if it dies like my others, I may switch. The bases do look like it may dissolve over time. Sorry to hear about Your troubles. Decor is not cheap for sure.

Hi everyone. I been having problems keeping plants alive. They eventually start to turn mush and brown/black goops. I use Seachem #1 (3 bottles) once every two weeks. It has led light from the tank. Today I bought a new plant hopefully it will survive? I didn't separate the new one bc I like to...

wow that is an amazine thing too see :D your fish are cool , the eggs too!

No I don't use any Prime products. Unfortuneitlymy plants died. I'm looking to replace them soon.

:)

Thanks Nick!
