Plants dont care what light they get, they'll adapt to any light you give them. But remember the more light you give them (higher wattage/longer photo period) the more nutrients and carbon they will require.    Like i've said, healthy plant growth is down to sufficent nutrients and carbon, light...

What type of lighting is it? LED, fluorescent, t8 ,t5 ,t5ho? How high above the tank is the lighting? by suspending the light higher above the tank you can reduce light intensity.   Your photo period is most likely much too long and is there any reason your doing a siesta?   Siesta's are in no...

^^^ I concur :)

What type of lighting do you have and how long is your photo period? What is your tank flow like?   most plant issues are caused by excessive light and poor flow.   Correct lighting and photo period are the key to successful plant growth.   Adding co2 with massively improve plant health but it...

In most cases increasing light intensity only promotes the growth of algae as co2 and nutrients are not matched to the new lights.   The biggest factor in healthy plant growth is co2 and nutrients, not increased light intensity.   The more light a plant receives the more co2 and nutrients are...

It makes absolutely no difference what bulbs you use, plants will adjust to any light spectrum you give them. Go for a bulb colour that you like the best.   I like skywhite 880, and 865, as they are very white. if you want a warmer colour try some 830 or 840. You can also use a mixture.   If you...

cheers for all the replies.   Think i'll hold off dosing any thing for the time being and just keep a close eye on things.   there's no chance i'll be able to catch all the amano shrimp so dosing the tank with them still in is the only option really. I did think about some flake food wormer but...

I had a quick look through my meds stash and have a pack of the Kusuri Discus Wormer, though on the back it says it might kill invertebrates.   I have 8 amano shrimp in the tank so i'm not sure whether to use it or not?   any body used it with shrimp?

Thanks for the replies guys. Been doing a bit more research and still cant match it directly to a disease?   any thoughts on the lumps by the anal fin?   I'll check out that wormer.   unfortunately I don't have another tank to quarantine it.   Not heard of a garlic flake before I'll have to look...

Hey all   Went to the lfs yesterday as the girlfriend wanted to get some angelfish, while she was doing that I was having a look around.   when I came back she had two platinum angels bagged up, they came from a tank with quite a few in there along with some other fish, cant remember what they...

perfectly normal it happens with most woods.   Wait for it to build up then take the wood out of the tank and give it a good clean, I find a pressure washer works best for this.   It will probably take at least a month for the mold to stop growing. If you have any algae eating fish they will do...
