#334755 Planted Tank Question

Posted by aajvcad on 09 February 2015 - 12:56 PM

So far there is no plan of fish in the planted tank.

The main tank will end up with feontosas or rays. Not sure just yet.

Got heaps of sand and gravel. Need to get some aqua soil.

Not to worried about hardness just yet. Because if I put fish requiring high ph all the limestone and sand will do the job. Especially with hard stirling water.

The planted tank is 1/8th of the total volume.


#334171 What Spawned In Your Tank Today???

Posted by aajvcad on 28 January 2015 - 05:03 PM

Yes finally... L202. Cleaned the tank today and found tiny not quite developed plecos all over the tank. They must have been pushed out by the dad. Sadly none were alive. Hopefully next time they know what to do. Still excited they spawned. Now have to find out which 2 in the group are spawning.

#333488 Brown Rust Like Spots On My Rocks

Posted by aajvcad on 14 January 2015 - 03:23 PM

Brown algae is a pain. I had it in one of the tanks. Gotta attack it right away once it gets into your substate it will hang around forever.

I tried taking the rocks and brushing it off and heaps of other methods hut it always came back.

I managed to get rid if it by doing 3 day 100% blackouts in the tank. Covered tank for 3 days with no light whatsoever. 3 bristlenose added. Had to repeat 2 more times after giving it a normal 3 day room lighting only in between.

Each time there was much less brown algae.

Dont add any chemicals for algae removal. Didnt do much for brown at all.

Good luck

We need to start a "Save The Fish" fund...

The only problem is that fish torture people multiply the real value x 579... lol

Sad to see fish like this... http://www.gumtree.c...ries/1048624611

#317454 What To Add To The Tank?

Posted by aajvcad on 05 June 2014 - 09:46 PM

Found some cool tanks like this online and inspired me to attempt and make something like it. I know its not easy but ill give it a very good crack for a discus tank.

 

I just need to find a place to buy plants and rocks which won't send me completely broke :-) Paying $10 for one plant at the shop is not going to do the job...
