Hello everyone! I continue to have trouble with algae on my plants. I have watched lots of YouTube videos on the subject and can’t seem to get it right. I would appreciate some guidance on my light and fertilizer balance, if you don’t mind. Current setup is a typical 55 tank: Father Fish-style dirt/sand substrate. Two Aquarium Co-Op medium sponge filters and a AquaClear 20. Ph average 6.8 (7.4 out of the tap). Parameters are great, per the test kit. Nitrates average 40-50. Fluval 3.0 plant light on top: Light settings: 3-hour sunrise from 7:30-10:30am. Daytime colors all 30%, except zero blue. 3.5-hour sunset from 5:00-8:30. Nighttime is 3% blue, 1% pink from 8:30-11:00pm. I put Easy root tabs in about once a month, and about three squirts of Easy Green, or H2O Plants Vital every other night. A couple of Vallisneria, but all Java ferns and Anubias varieties beyond that. Two decent-sized goldfish, two Yo-Yo loaches, two hillstream loaches, about six kuhli loaches and about five small Amano shrimp. Tried mystery snails, but Yo-Yos harassed them to death. Please see photos for what I have. It’s been this way for months. Not sure to add light, lower light, or what? Any input is appreciated! 🙂 Thank you, Chris -
Is this normal melting? Thanks so much! -
I succeeded in making some arrangements, should my unfortunate demise occur. My fish, shrimp, and snails will be taken care of. It wouldn't be right for them to starve to death, simply because I wasn't available to feed them. Most people might not understand this concern, but I'm out here by myself. My family and friends are two thousand miles away from me. -
Have you ever wanted to build a tank in the 150 gallon range from glass or acrylic? Have you done it? Where could one find design plans for that and for custom wooden stands?- 7 replies
