phoenix44 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks! Those new fluval CO2 kits are a bit blingy for my liking, and are lacking in substance IMO. I'd want a cannister to be more than 88gm personally. Diffusers seem fine. ADA ones are good as are the GLA ones - cost a bomb though. For pressurised systems the Rhinox range are pretty good value for money, and really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I had a look at GLA Diffusers a week ago and they look very similar to ADA and are way cheaper, but they look nicer than Rhinox. If I get pressurized CO2 I know what diffuser I'm getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 The GLA and Rhinox ones are exactly the same Joe.. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Today I went to do some stuff and landed up at the LFS :facepalm: :lol: . Saw some spotted head-standers and now I want to add 6 of them in here. Very tempting! Apart from that I trimmed and replanted some stalks and added loads of ferts to the tank, and now the discus want to breed. Cories bred as I added the new water to the tank :happy2: That means that the hypans get to eat some fresh eggs! :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Another week has gone by! CO2 bubbles! Tiger Lotus trained to stay low - Rotala rotundifolia among the green and wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 The extra iron is helping a lot with those reds and I can see that the nitrates are doing their thing. If you start to see green spot add more phosphate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Only just got the nitrate yesterday. So will start dosing it this week. I'm just afraid that the plants will outgrow the tank (particularly that sword plant). After adding my trace I no longer get that green algae on the front of the glass that grows when the tank basks in morning sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 WOW This tank is AWESOME :happy1: BTW you need to add some Bolbitis heudelotii and Cyperus helferi I love the Echinodorus Red Rose x Ozelot. Mine is doing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flourish comprehensive has a small amount of nitrates in it, and phosphates - so that is probably why your green algae is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm trialling my ferts remember? Haven't used any ferts except for what I've told you about since we corresponded last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 You were using Flourish Comp a week ago...right? Anyway, do a test and tell me what the nitrate levels are in there would ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
