Root

I have been seeing these light riser mount things popping up here and there and was wondering if there was any benefit besides maybe overheating or water splashing as far the light itself goes. Does anyone have experience with them or use them in some type of way for plants? Are there any cons? Does raising the light an inch or more have effects?

This is a pretty bare spot. I recently moved stuff around in the tank and it’s growing back in. It will keep filling in until it looks like a lawn 😆

I have dwarf sagittaria in similar gravel. That stuff carpets like crazy. Have plecos and they have never uprooted them.

@Guppysnailthank you for your help!

Would this work in higher quantities? For water changes/top offs? If I were to do a water change of say 4 gallons, could I leave the air stone in the bucket and it have the same results?

Ok, thank you! That makes sense. Mine too. 😭 The interesting thing is the tap’s gh and kh are reading off the charts too. The water is very generous with the minerals, but the ph is reading 6.5-6.8. Any suggestions if I were to go that route?

I do not, but saw your name and wanted to say hello. I am from MS myself. Hope you get answers soon.

I’m open. What do you mean by cutting it with tap water?

Hello, all! I recently moved to a new place and the gh/kh are super high compared to where I originally lived. I am thinking of using Ro water, but not sure what I need to add minerals and such back in. I have a moderately planted tank and live bearers. I hear a cocktail of Seachem products will do, but not sure where to start. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

It looks nice. Someone may have more insight, but they might need some time to adjust to the new tank. Please share pictures in the coming weeks/months. 🙂

Is this a fairly new tank? Are the plants new? If so the plants could be adjusting and melting back some which isn’t uncommon.

Crazy how coop is sitting at 999k subs right now! Congrats guys!

Fertilizer and lots of time. This is some I have in a 20 tall and it took over a year to get over the half way mark. Granted it only had 3-4 leaves and was a bout 3 inches tall when I got it lol. As far as what types grow tall I’m not sure. I believe this is Wendtii Red.

Actually yes, the very end of it and about a week afterwards is when this new growth started coming in.

I haven’t thought of that possibility. That would be super cool.
