Adandrews' 35L Nano

What do you guys think??
just a quick update, i have brought a boyu in-line co2 diffuser becuase i am having to use way way too much co2 due to a shoddy rhinox 1000. Hopefully this will save me co2, and in turn money!

I have ordered some e.vivipara for the back of the tank, undecided about positioning get, may have one "wall" and then a gap off centre to the left and then a smaller "wall", or maybe just less than half a side

tank is still showing up nitrites and some ammonia, but why, there is nothing in it, the media was semi-mature,

help appreciated

what shall i do, get some ammonia to cycle it again or what?

just did another test, and to my amazement it is perfect! have to just wait and see if this test is a one off or what but i think i may have spoke too soon lol.

I know i wont be able to "prove" this til later, but im wondering if co2 is making the water bad, thus while i have it off the water is fine, but a thought to check really, i could be talking codswallop, i will see later

and guys.. looking at the scape do you think i should push in and turn the angle of the second biggest stone? it seems to be a bit of a focal point for me, what do you rekon?

just as i expected i tested the water just, while the co2 was on and nitrite has risen to 0.25 ppm

please advise

Lovely scape.

Can't wait to see it fully grown out.

cheers bud, nor can i, shouldnt be much longer i can literally see the hc growing!

This has really come a long.

I doubt the CO2 is making the water bad. You probably just have thing rotting in there. It happens.

Just recieved my boyu in-line diffuser, so hopefully i can stop wasting co2, im having a little algae issues at the moment, diatoms :twisted:
I think this is down to bad water quality while running lights for 8hours, becuase i am stetching the time for water changes to every 2 days instead of every one, growth is much better, but maybe i need to use more tpn+, im using 2ml as it is, is it possible to use 3ml?
And the frogbit has grown immensley, but its "roots" are really long, can i snip these without causing damage to the plant, does the cutting stimulate new growth as with many "non floating plants"?

thanks

lol, give me a minute, got business hmk to do yet!

Here we are I have just secured the signing of some spiky moss from A1Matt, so that should give the tank a nice mature look when it grows. Didnt know how much to cut the vivipara down by, so i have, but not too drastic, i can always address that though.

Comments/Crittique Welcome
Thanks
