Ohad Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 The cutest nerite snail is helping me clean the little bits of brown algae and pieces of melted crypt leaves of the fern (just like the picture), haha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 That hardscape flows so well. Really nice setup. How are you enjoying the new HoB? It's a new release if I'm remembering correctly, not really available locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew they have a white one, haha; so far, I love it. It's a very good one. It has lots of power. I am on the slowest flow it's and it's very strong. I got it at my LFS in NY so it's available in the US for sure Edited February 10, 2023 by Ohad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohad Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 Update, did not share any pictures in the last month because I had to fight the most horrible case of diatom algae. I understand that it is because I am using seiryu stone that made my GH on the higher side 10 degrees . The plants struggled . Today finally I can say I pretty much algae free Easy green helped a lot!! plus got a better light and a upgraded CO2 system for consistent light green check. (The pictures are from early morning) Ludwigia white converted successfully can't wait to see it fully grown . Pink flamingo still converting . Ludwigia repens growing like a weed. The algae sadly killed most of my scarlet temple , and made the s. repens struggle. But it's ok now. Nana petit got green spot algae but it's expected and the Amanos loves it Finally decided to go with golden white clouds for this one. I turned off the heater to help the plants and I want a simple and enjoyable fish. I think that it will look great Will share again as everything is fully grown and converted This tank ended up being a "learn how to grow plants tank" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that I recommend this plant it's very strong, it converted while the tank was covered in algae with no melting. It does like high light and CO2 though . But I will not say anything final yet until it is fully grown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohad Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Added today, Rummy nose rasboras like singing birds to my English garden under water. Sadly I could only find males , while colorful they will not breed ( maybe it's a good thing ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohad Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Today I went full high tech on this tank. Replaced the HOB with a large canister and lily pipes + skimmer . The HOB blocked some areas of the tank from the CO2 and I started getting BBA on the drift wood . I thought that I had clear water before but boy oh boy it's like glass now. Plus white ludwigia progress I am a little sad since it's such a slow grower some of the white leaves got covered with green dust algae. The shrimp loves it. I hope that the extra clear water and the sparkly new filter will help 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Your tank is absolutely beautiful. If I could not see the water line I would think there was no water in. It’s so clear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
