Yoshi Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 You think maybe some additional root tabs might help the sword? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried this a lot a few months back, no luck 😕, good idea though! @Yoshi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyPlantedTanks Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 @Whitecloud09 maybe you should try some more floating plants to help give a little shade for the ones who don’t want a ton of light. And it might help keep the algae off some plant leaves too! in my 10g I have Pennywort, guppy grass and Pearlweed floating up top which all do a really good job shading out my Anubias (which used to be covered in GSA). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 My tank is pretty much winning the algae battle, except for my anubias algae war and the rock in the middle has a weird algae. @Mmiller2001 the purple algae, what is that in the pic below? thanks! My minnows love their diet including, freeze dried cubed brine shrimp, pellets, flakes and frozen bloodworms. With bug bites too. things going well, easy to maintain tank, I love it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 The water sprite has grown crazy big. Will add some brazilian pennywort soon like @EricksonAquatics has mentioned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 The tank after a 25% wc. Added some Val from other tank, not growing great but I added some more ferts today so maybe that might give a lil boost. The fish are very healthy. Hurricane hit last night, no power, thankfully for only one hour. Man, a hurricane in north ga, wow, crazy. But anyway, pics!! Ps: Sorry for no recent update 🙂 been busy. Back to it more now! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM So question. My bag of crushed coral is kinda nasty. Like dirty, brown stuff on it. I need to replace it. I have already replaced the filter cartridge, in the hob. It was falling apart. But don't you replcae the crushed coral after a while. It has been in there for 3 or 4 months, probably longer. I am not sure if you are supposed to? Could anyone help? I have a glass bowl of some Crushed coral that does not have a lid, is it any good to use? I have had that since adding the crushed coral a while back. Any responses are greatly appreciated! I will get some pics of the tank in a bit. I did a 50% wc yesterday. It looks much better.

Lynaea Posted Thursday at 11:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:38 PM The brown stuff is likely just detritus, you could try rinsing it out, or the unused stuff you have should be fine too. Try putting a piece of foam or filter floss in the HOB before the coral to catch more of the detritus even if only a smaller piece will fit over to the side. You may have to replace it fairly often but it will help keep the gunk out of your crushed coral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
