Water changes are going to be like 50% every other day for a whiiile until these get cycled or the algae is gonna be nuts

Yes, thank you! Took me like... about 10-12 hours straight to make the both of them.

Trying these out. Let me know what you guys think. Bunch of lava rock with flourish under the sand. Idk why the secind one is hard to photograph. My phone sucks though.

Also there are a few species of mantis that are 3" max that can't punch thru glass

Ever considered hawking? To me it's like the ultimate bird keeping. I've read the requirements and it's quite a hefty list

Got discharged from the hospital after 3 days and came home to find my 75g cycled and algae under control! And a new batch of blue velvet shrimp

I mean literally the tank is perfect for me except the algae on my damn driftwood tree lol. I've honestly never tested my tap water. Give me a sec

That ammonia reading... can't tell if it's 0 or .25

Took my levels. 6.5 ph, oppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrites, 10ppm nitrates

It's my basement(my basement is technicallymy first floor so its a full window)/mancave/fish room so windows can **** off lol. I've been using an all in one fertilizer but after researching I read in a few places that for the first 3 months you shouldn't add fertilizer. Lol I've been listening...

Which change ru referring to? Blacking the window out? I was hoping setting the light at 50% was a good call. Also co tinueing water changes while the tank gets established

Duration is 8 hrs on a timer. I haven't had the light long so I bought a dimmer and have it at 50%. Going to do a parameter test real quick too. The algae is growing super slow so I'm confident the lights were a root cause. Tank gets the ambient light from. The window from like 6am-7pm though.i...

Yea I had a feeling it did. It's not terrible algae but it's ruining my focal point lol. The algae isnt running rampant and i know some algae is beneficial. Ughhh idk i might just let it ride because every other plant besides the one in the picture is doing really really good

Are you stocked heavy with fish? Mine is also still young (1.5 months) so it's still going through its balancing phase. 75 gallon with 3, 3.5 inch ram cichlids; 3, 2in bristle nose plecos, and 6 guppies about .5in I was culling from a breeding project and hoped the cichlids would eat but that's...

Quick question if you don't mind. I have a window about 5 feet from my tanks and while they aren't getting direct sunlight there is definitely ambient light coming through. My algae isn't out of control but wondering if you think it'd be a good idea to black out the window or if I should reduce...

You guys were right I switched to twin star S Series not as pretty looking but the plants are doing really good.

Thank you this is kind of the answer I was looking for. I'm going to get a new light as I can't play with individual % on the t247s only overall % to CH1 or CH2

This light does have blue, red green and white

Well full spectrum is full spectrum lighting right? It has every color. More asking about the % to set them and if it could be instigating the algae growth. Now I reduced to 3% 6hrs as the growth is continuing. Not much algae on the glass just on the prettiest plants in the tank...

I added almost double the plants. Two large sponge filters and a bunch of pathos with roots hanging inside the tank

So I had these lights from when I had a reef tank (Ocean Revive Arctic T247). Currently been running 2 weeks with 1 dwarf black ram my friend had to get rid of. I'm starting to get a redish brown algae on some of the plants and rocks. Had the lights set at 25% white 15% blue for 8hrs for the...

Oh crap!!! It's in my basement!!! My wife will kill me if we get mosquitoes

But black eggs on the surface of the tank? So I should increase the temperature?

I searched and didn't find a thread on this. Sorry if it's a repeat. I have a daphnia culture that's been running good for about 2 weeks. I'm starting to see black (eggs?) Floating at the top. Is this indicative of another issue?
