This was a few months ago.
To my current plant vomit scape I’m trying to fix 😆

Can you get a better picture?

Pictures are blurry, can’t see it clearly. White spots on lower leaves is usually a micro nutrient issue.

Slightly less than 1 day of growth lol. Insane.

We did fish in cycle for decades. Just need to take care of the water more for the first couple months.
Poor fish.

It should be planted.

Uncycled tank, you can probably expect the remaining fish to die off as well. Read up on cycling a tank.

I esp like the rotala - hum what is it called - oh yea blood red; a bit deeper than ha'ra.
I have that, I just hate how it wants to lay over at times. Makes it harder for a background plant.

Such a beauty

I forgot to mention, check out Aqua Rocks Colorado. They have amazing customer service.

The color is quite nice on the p series and your tank looks great. I especially like how bright the reds are. And you can actually see what color the fish are... unlike a certain fluval light lol. The week aqua also has more leds in it and higher lumens than the aqz, so I'm starting to lean toward the p. Would one 48" of the p series be enough to grow high light plants in a standard 75 gallon?
1 is all you would need and has enough par to grow any plant available to us. CO2 would be the only limiting factor.
My PC monitors are trash for editing and sorry the the pictures are so dark. But I assure you, my tank looks a fruit market at high noon on a clear blue sky day.
The weak point on the WA is they are fan cooled and is a failure point of the light.

I'm looking into replacing the fluvals on my 75 because I'm just over the yellow and I've narrowed it down to either an ledstar aqz or a week aqua p.
also, does anyone have any experience ordering from aquatic motiv?
Never used or seen Ledstar, but have WeakAqua P's. They look to be both similar in spectrum and WA can pump quite a bit of par. WA is more popular and is catching on fast in the upper end of planted tanks. Here's my AGA shot under WA and a few recent shots with different exposures.

Hi inkbird users,
Do you use the non wifi controller or the wifi controller? Is the wifi unit worth the cost and does the app for it work with multiple inkbird controllers? Thanks for the advice!
WiFi version is my pick. Can set the temperature range with higher resolution than the non WiFi versions.

I don't have any chlorine tests. I'm going to chalk this up to my not adding Water Conditioner and will go back to doing so in the future, regardless of what type of water I'm using. I'm assuming there is no harm in using it, even if I don't need it.
I add it and use RO/DI. Doesn’t hurt and just another layer of security.

5 ppm
According to Dennis Wong, 2ppm of chlorine is fatal. Maybe it’s a part of that 5ppm?

Yes, I have this (which is the values in the second column of my measurements table).
What's the tds of the RO water from the unit?

@gjcarew @Mmiller2001 OK, maybe I figured it out and maybe it was a dumb mistake on my part. I started using RO water maybe 4 weeks ago or so. I have not been adding API water conditioner to the RO water, because I thought that putting the water through the RO process would remove anything harmful. Is that my mistake?
Screenshot of recent measurements below:
Love the charting! Do you have a tds meter by any chance?

@gjcarew Was not aware. Thanks.
@Mmiller2001 It's possible that losing about a quarter of my lifestock in one night is just random, but seems likely there was a cause. All my measurements are the same as the past. We did lose power about a week ago and my hang on back filter needed to be re-started. I cleaned it for the first time in many months (used tap water to clean the plastic elements, only used tank water to clean the sponge and media). That's the only thing unusual lately that I can think of. Maybe just random, but trying to learn if I made a mistake that caused this. Your guess is it was just random...bad luck?
I agree with @gjcarew, this sounds like a toxin was introduced. I know here, in the winter, they increase chlorine dosing. I can smell it from the faucet and it irritates my eyes in the shower.

Looks amazing, both plants and fish. I’m pretty sure I’m giving up on my AWF, it just gets lost in the other plants and keeping it smaller in front seems like a pain.

when you're adding the Easy Green, try to add it to a container or jar or something and dilute it into the tank away from any fish
Um why? You’re over thinking this.

I’m doubting this. Fish aren’t stupid, they would swim away.
Think about any body of water and I bet the temperature varies significantly at various depths. I doubt any fish dies be cause they swam deeper and water temperature changed by 7 or 8 degrees.

Thank you! Awesome. I should start dosing immediately too. Thanks for your help!
Added this as an edit to above but will repost:
I will add one more question, my Water Sprite is always a yellow ish green color. Not pale and grows, but not bright green like it should be. Is this iron if the plants are still healthy or maybe a lighting issue?
sorry another edit. Took out no yellowing. Made no sense!
Here’s a pic:
Looks like the light, hard to tell.

It doesn’t and I dose my tank immediately after water changes.

What does your aquarium look like?

It’s definitely not award winning at the moment. Vomit best describes its current condition 🤣
