Unfortunately excel doesn't just kill algae. It killed more than 10 of my neon and a rummy nose. Most other fish are unaffected. It also rots the tip of the leafs to a few of my plants. I heard it can also harm shrimps.

Thanks. By the way, I check the calendar again and the tank is 3 months old already. :drool:

I am still not sure about Iron. I thought iron can promote BBA growth. I only feel some leaves can be greener. I may try Flourish. I will get big 2 liter bottles to save a bit. It will sound crazy to dose NO3 since I am more of a veteran reefer and we try out best to get any trace of NO3 out...

I can leave CO2 on to maintain the PH at 7.0 through out 24 hours. I am still unsure if that would be benefitial. I thought KH7 is hard enough for buffering and PH drop is due to CO2 injection.

My tank water has KH of 7 and the PH goes up to 7.9 after the CO2 shut off at night. I start injecting CO2 several hours before photo period to keep the CO2 content and PH consistent at 7.0 through out photo period. I have no way to bring it down at night :shout:

Look again Dave :shifty: It is in the first book towards the last half of the book. Look for tiger lotus to the right corner of the tank. Let me know if you think my improvement is substantial when you find which design I have borrowed.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. The following are some of the tank information: Dimension: 215cm x 90cm x 75cm 1. Lighting: 12 x 36W PC Osram Daylight 2. Filter: Overflow to external sump with fiber mats 3. Substrate: Not very sure but dark color mixed grain, could be semi volcanic 4...

Just want to share the pictures of my 2 months old 1600 liter planted tank. I borrowed and improved on one of Takashi's design in his first book. If you found out which, please let me know. :shifty:

B)-->QUOTE(Lynda B @ Jul 10 2007, 12:00 AM) 1684658 Did you add all of those fish to your tank at once? And if so, did someone advise you that it was alright to do that? Aside from death by natural selection, I'm sure you lost fish to that enormous increase in bioload in an uncycled tank. We...

What color is Palor? Their noses seemed to be visibly red.

Darn, that is very sad sad to hear. The die offs seemed to slow a bit recently but still ongoing. I figure the tank wasn't completely cycled then. Ironically I don't lose too many of my Neon/Cardinal Tetra. Below are the number of fish I have now/had over the last 3 weeks: Cardinal Tetra...

My 450GL planted tank is setup for a little over 1 month. The tank is loading with 110 Tetra and other small fish. There is an extra large biological filter and I change 20% of water every other day. The water parameter seemed fine. However, I continue to lose a fish or 2 every few days. Some...

Is Tetra test strip reliable? Especially I need it on NH3 and NO2. Thanks.

I took my angel fish out for treament in a 18 liter hospital tank. I bought a small external filter and used the old floss from my main tank for filtration. The fish appear well and eater except there are still some fugus growth on its mouth and the tip of the fin shows minor rotting. I dosed...

Can anyone recommand a reliable online store for me?

I check again this morning. NO2 is 0.02 not 0.2 and NO3 is between 3 - 5. I will get an NH3 test this morning. Can I treat Maracyn in a planted tank? I just lost one angel last night. I took it out to treat in a bucket with airstone. This morning it is already gone.

Hi, both fish were feeding well 2 days prior to the infection. Both fish has discoloration on the top front portion of the back. The death appeared swift. At first the fish seemed to lose appetite and mobility. They just float about the surface of the water and dies within days. Will the disease...

My planted tank is set up for 3 1/2 weeks. I stock some 100 small fish 2 weeks ago. Most appear healthy and feeding well. The water is tested NO2 <0.2ppm, NO3 <5 ppm. I lost 4 more fish during the pass 2 days. All fish appeared fat and have good appetite just 1 - 2 days before sudden death. The...
