Ive got some loads in fact! but i cannot sell them....there condition is not that great atm the moment so they would die if i sent any to you, however if i can save them and someone else hasnt sorted you out i will sort you some

 

[fluffycabbage]

well if you can get their condition back up to scratch.....

lol the things grow like anything but have (in the past month) gone down hill and started to brown! its a alge problem, its that blanket like alge, it keeps covering the leaves, i leave the lights out and get rid of it...but it keeps coming back! drives me insane! i used to have such a beautiful tank

 

[fluffycabbage]

oh no so what do you do now that you used to do differently? maybe thats the cause?

 

[razer121]

well, i got rid of most of the fish XD lol the tank is pretty heavily planted, maybe 50%+ i think also that the lighting not being on as often may have affected it! im not a pro with plants but ive got a good idea what they need...but this time round i cannot figure it! also think it might have something to do with the recent change in the tank (rescaped) its got to be done again though! to top that of, the oddest thing is the plants will still grow new leafs yet the other ones will die off...so it does make me wonder what is going on!

Sorry to but in, but I'd be interested in some of this if you had any spare once youve sorted it out. Could it be a lack of flow? As you say you rescaped? Maybe its in a dead spot.

Cheers

put it back where it was lol! maybe it disturbed the roots too much? some plants are very sensitive to that arent they

 

[razer121]

the plants havent moved XD its the rest of the tank, im unsure what it was but im not about to post it in the plant section, last time i did that i got "abuse" and told to leave fish keeping altogether! so i WILL sort it out myself, im going to be breaking the main tank down today and going to set up a "plant" tank to get them growing again (did this at the start hench all the plants now lol)
