nice confirm mine is green spot algae

---

Added on August 22, 2010, 11:07 pmzzz after the green spot algae, now i also see some hydra sticking to my glass wall

After doing some googling, found out that one of the method to use is to dose in Fenbendazole also known as panacur or safe guard. I know this medicine is to deworm infested pets but which shop should be selling it? Buy from aquarium or normal pet shop?

Your one is shrimp tank is it???

But do pose up your findings and result of using Fenbendazole with us, cause I'm having shrimp tank also and I'm very scared I will kena hydra also...

my previous setup...



lately the HG carpet starts to get botak d... HG uprooting itself... got minor algae attack as well... so i decided to rescape it... lower the substrate abit so the plants can grow more... 1ft height tank really too shallow to create nice scape....

i removed almost half of the substrate without disturbing it much... added a few pallets of iron bottom and multi bottom coz didnt do the base fert when i first started the tank... this is what i came up with...



background, tonina... middle, riccia... front, UG... relocated my canister filter intake pipe as well.. looks more organized now...



lomo shot of the middle rock...



lighting 55w... not really sufficient for UG i think... plans to upgrade another 55w... see budget how....
pressurized co2 tank... bps unsure coz didnt have bubble counter... pakai hentam only... lolz..
canister filter JET-3388...
fert using seachem trace element only... halfcap per week... ok ahh??...

i suggest you remove the SAE first.. UG didnt have 'proper' root as other plant (HC,HG, etc), it can easily uproot especially when you newly planted it.

btw where do you get the UG? hehee..

I rcmd your filter inflow and outflow to be located as, in flow on left, out flow on right (the head tilt 45% to the left) or vice versa, inflow and outflow having put close together is disadvantagous for the over all water flow

ohh.. okok... so far no uprooted UG... if its getting serious i will remove the SAE... i bought it in melaka nature aquatic studio... rm8 per small pot... most expensive plant i ever bought.. lolz... bought 2 only... planted it evenly across the foreground... hopefully can grow...

if tilt the head 45deg forward abit, the co2 diffused wont be able to circulate around the tank well wor... currently the aeration seems fine as i can see the diffused co2 bubble distributed evenly around the tank...

owh.. i think i get cheaper than that.. rm15 for 4x5inch.. heheee...

where did u get it from?

oppss.. my mistake.. not 4x5inch.. but 4x3 inch...

Hi
Anyone been Qian Hu Aquarium and Pets (M) Sdn Bhd in Balakong?

hmm i try dosing seachem excel into the water .. saw those hydra floating all over the water now instead of sticking to the glass Tmr will check again ... no shrimp in my tank atm, only 3 ottos

hey guys . i plant some plants on my 1ft aquarium and it just come out the next day . any idea how to keep it stay at a place? and some of the plants just die for i dont know why .

for 1 ft tank, water condition tend to fluctuate like mad, unless you are in air cond room. Unless you can get temperature and water quality consistent, you are in for a big headache. My first tank was a 1 ft too, the temp was going from 28 - 32 C, when I get cooling fans, I was getting 25 - 27 C, then only I have a smooth planting experience.

about plant keep comming out, do you use tweezers? one trick that I use is put some stones next to the plant (small ones),

for hydras and planaria issue.. we could use "no planaria"

what other seachem products do you all normally dose your tank?is excel enough?

well i use K, flourish, excel, P,N,trace, and Iron.. some are redundant. but seems ok.. i'm only dosing about 3 times a fortnight.. maybe shud try dosing twice a week..
