xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 @Patrick_G I've said I'd gladly take all of @Mmiller2001's cast offs, I would likely just kill everything but it'd be like getting flowers delivered every week. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) It's amazing how I set out to accomplish a goal and fail so miserably at it. I was suppose to reduce my plant species, which I did, but by only 4. Sad. And now I'm left with too many red plants. And I committed a sin by using a red plant as a curtain plant! So I still need to get down to 12 species and I'm currently at 19. The good news is, I was able to create some space in the tank and also really cleaned the substrate. My BBA problem was spreading and I'm pretty sure it was a flow problem and too much organic build up. I will know in a few weeks if this all helped. I also changed my dosing a bit and will post the numbers now. I've increased PO4 because by weeks end, I'm down to about 2ppm. I'm not sure this is the best course to take and I'm thinking a mid week "boost" dose would be a better solution. Maybe I will drop to 7ppm and do a 1 to 2ppm dose mid week? I forgot to mention how badly I hate Eco Complete. Absolute garbage. Edited January 5, 2022 by Mmiller2001 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Macarandra mini is a stunner! Putting that on my CO2 plant list for sure!

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 @Mmiller2001not yet. I need to get my old brewing setup out of storage and see if the Milwaukee regulator is salvageable or if I need to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You know my original tank was started with "river pebbles" of some kind from Imagitarium (Petco). I thought maybe I'd made a mistake when I learned more about other substrates but you know, I think its done more good for my tanks and I like the look of it. I think I'd rather go with something smaller next time but similar to what you have- but the bigger stuff is stupid easy to gravel vac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
