[Fluval 3.0 question]

Thank you! I didn't realize that my fert choices didn't cover all the bases. I will get something new for sure! 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

125 Gallons. 

Flourish - I'm using about 5ml per week. Recommended dose would be 4x this amount but I have read that algae can become an issue if you use the full recommended dosage. Maybe I should increase? 

Flourish excel - I'm using 20ml daily. Recommended dose is around 12ml daily. 

Also use root tabs (seachem) 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Any chance you can tell if these plants are getting too much / too little light? 

I put some in 2 of my tanks. These are doing terrible and the ones in the other tank are doing really well. 

I added them to both tanks at the same time - about 6 weeks ago. 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Thank you. Ill give that a try. 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Thank you. I am not running CO2. I use liquid carbon daily, liquid ferts and root tabs. 

I have another tank with 1 fluval 3.0 set at 100% and use liquid carbon / ferts and the plants are doing great. This tank that has the 2 lights has the same plants but they just aren't performing like my other tank. It seems it has to be the lighting. This tank with the 2 lights is 3 inches taller. 

Your plants do look better under the new light. That's for sure. 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Thank you. I will keep that in mind for my next purchase. 

Any idea what the 2 fluvals should be set at? They are right next to each other so should be lighting up the same area (I expect a lot of crossover) 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Yes. I bought them from aquarium coop. 

[Fluval 3.0 question]

Are 2 Fluval 3.0 lights set at 50% equal to 1 set at 100%?

I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate 1 light at 100% with 2 lights. Imagine a 48" long tank with 2 48" long fluval 3.0's on top of it (one right in front of the other). I'm guessing the 2 lights should be set at 50% each but need confirmation.

Thank you. 

[Anyone Keeping / Ever Kept Fireyblack Shiners?]

I am wondering how often the males color up. 

[Anyone Keeping / Ever Kept Fireyblack Shiners?]

Did you end up getting these? How did they turn out? I'm considering them now. Wondering if they would be okay in 76 degrees.
