phoenix44 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Site died on me twice and I lost 2 lots of lovely posts. But... Tank updated after long and expensive and deadly battle with staghorn algae. used lots of peroxide, pond care algae fix and a new UV sterilizer and I think its gone/ going. Plants - Ludwigia Arcuata hygro. polysperma var. rosanvig / sunset Tiger lotus pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Looks good P44! I'm a bit envious of the colour of your arcuata :lol: I like the dwarf flag cichlids and the discus. I'm glad they survived the tank disaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 *sigh* Isn't ludwigia just great? I love all sorts of it, especially arcuata. I just picked up some Ludwigia glandulosa and it is unbelievably spectacular. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelz Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, just wanted to say what an awesome tank you have I've only just joined so don't know what your disaster was (am guessing it was something to do with some brought-in algae), it looks fantastic now anyway, and your discus' colour is AMAZING!!

phoenix44 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 aww thanks so much Jelz... to be perfectly honest I am not at all happy with the tank. its meh at the moment, but maybe in a couple of months itll be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
