I've always added CO2 to my tanks and I've never had any problems. I think maybe if I got better lighting, like T5HO, then my plants would have more light to photosynthesis and will use up more CO2 and produce more oxygen so I won't really have to worry about this problem occuring in the future. And I think ferts will be a good investment. I currently only have 100watts of T8 tubes on my tank at the moment :-? :lol:

No, I understand exactly what you mean What a great idea! I have a 2-way chrome valve floating around somewhere, so I'll use that

What are the ingredients for a good PMDD mix? I might have a go at making some myself

Thanks Now I still have a chance at breeding my Apistogramma macmasteri. BTW, not all my fish survived - my Golden Bristlenoses died

Crypt. cordata can have dark green leaves, lime green leaves, mint-green leaves, brown leaves and pale biege leaves, like mine, and all sorts of other various slight colour variations. But I definately don't think it's cordata because of the leaf shape - cordata has quite broad leaves.

My tank is heavily planted. I changed the CO2 mixture during the day. I use 2x 3L juice bottles with 2 cups sugar and a couple of teaspoons of yeast per bottle. My tank has always been fine with this. I do not dose ferts, but I do dose Excel. I give the plants root ferts (peat moss with JBL balls). But I should think about getting some PMDD or some Flouish Comprehensive. Once I have a bit more cash I'll get a drop checker.

Yep exactly. I knew what had happened, and I completely forgot about this sort of thing happening before I changed the CO2 mix :facepalm: :oops: The whole point in this thread was to ask experienced fishkeepers if my fish would be OK... I certainly know how to avoid this sort of problem in the future :lol: I'm so stupid :facepalm: :lol:

Awesome. It is looking great !drool: :happy1:

Nah it's not balansae. Balansae has very long leaves and they are a much darker green, and the leaves have a crinkled appearence all over, not just undulated on the sides like Sophia's crypt.

Yes I do dose with Excel. The thing I hate about DIY CO2 is that it can't be turned off at night Otherwise it's great
