do i ever told u all that i hate glosso???
yes, i hate them, when they grow thick... water flow beneath there slow, BGA come.... i hate.... but i like also... damn sick....

Hi bro, it's 720 litre per hour. forgot to mention my light source is 2 x 55W PLL.

Hmmm, din know that i need step 1:( will go and get it this weekend, btw can share what's the purpose of step one?

Btw, ur grosso damn nice and grow so fast!!! u using any chiller?

thanks.

yaya, he using chiller...
what is ur tank temperature???

hi bro, i'm not using chiller but 2 strong fan, temp ard 25-27.5 C

then, still cannot???

It's a wonder why with 110w , and all that. Still cant?

haha yujin-san, the "joy" of glossos, gotta keep trimming them. theyre as big of a nuisance as duckweed LOL.

Sometimes I wonder.. why the F did I choose riccia and glosso as my foreground lol.

hi guys i duno any other appropriate thread to post this, since the others are dead an inactive. i just wanna ask, i got a 3 stripe damselfish what does it eat? i put small round pellets it didnt eat it.

you ARE on the wrong thread. Here is green.. not blue lol.

Try mysis or brine shrimp mix if it is not accepting manufactured foods...

Drew

mine is not that case... urs is bout the same with the 1 i saw at lfs ekano...

my glosso is crawling but doesnt stay low... my tank is only 1.5ft wit 55w pl 28-29c...

so is it due to insufficient lights or not cold enough?

hey i wonder why my weed is turning brown?

@shortpants

Bump up your lighting, and lower your temperature.. 28~29C is far from favorable. 27~28 would be better.

brighty k + lights - 2 doses each every week

try this, lights is not as "essential" as you think. Step 1 please!

Drew

what is appropriate dosage?


should i replant everything? its in my mind already to tear down glosso and replant or change other plant as i dun really satisfied with the outcome of the set-up... hehehe...

you mean you're pumping 2 pumps each weekly? Here's how I fertilize my tanks. It is a risky fertilizing schedule if you don't know what you're doing.

2feet.
72w lighting
25C temperature
1 pump of Brighty K and Step series DAILY and 2 pumps after water change.

3feet

300w lighting
25C temperature

3 pumps daily of Step 1 and K.. 5 pumps after water change.

Well that is my ferting regiment. But I won't do that if I were you considering that your temperature isn't that low and lighting isn't as high. But as I kept saying, risky business- you gotta know what you're doing.

Try dosing 1 pump each every 2 days? or 3 pumps per week after water change?

Drew

thanks drew... will try & see how it goes...

haha, for my 3 ft last time....
daily dosage...
5 push brighty K
5~6 push step 2


i think what u need now is daily dosage....
and u can directly go to step 2....

still not yet sell out?

yujin san, seems like it's okay to go up to 5 pumps huh, would try that out. didn't dare to overdo it lol.

hi all!!!im very new to planted tank.
now hoping to start on the basic step but with tight budget.
currently got my 2 1/2 foot tank with some plants that seems to die and filled with black/burnt spots..from day to day..
after fast consultation by Zangetsu .. managed to get some idea why they're dying..so decided to rescape
unfortunately..all my current plants..so sad to say have to change..
planning to rescape this weekend..
juz wondering...any of u guys have any xtra plants to give away?
anybody want to trim thier plants??
if yes...pls..spare a bit for me..
willing to travel anywhere to collect ur plants..or even some other stuffs to get my tank going.

Advice and also ideas on how to restart and maintain my upcoming rescape tank are most welcome..
I'll blanja anybody makan and chat for advice in change for free plants..hehehe
or even xtra soil also would be nice..
