Agree with weijie..98w and 1bps is too low for 4ft

U will never regret adding more co2 (if still within optimum level, co2 indicator will tell u this) ...lack of co2 might invite algae with dosing of liquid fert..bcoz plant hav nothing to react with

more light means more co2 right? i stil have one more tube 38w not on yet. if on mean total = 136w
if 136w to 2bps stil ok?

Hi KG,

Im not sure the last plant is from me, seems like one type of Ludwigia maybe Rapens

Dont worry the plant is not green enough, the rotala(1st pic), cos it not suppose to be green  biggrin.gif
i think u lack of iron or lights, not sure about Depont content with, plus try to dosage ferts on daily basis instead of 1 shot....and WC also good for remove exceed nutriens in your tank.

the rotala u just trim as low as you can and replant it trimmed stem as dense as u can

the Pogostemon sp Babien Laos(2nd pic) u can cut them anywhere  you wan and replant it by removing the lower leaves then plug it into ur soil. same goes to ludwigia

once you get the dense plant, then you can start shape your scape for the stem plant
you can refer here

see how they plant the plant.... rclxms.gif

hope this might be helpful  biggrin.gif

I used this to scrap my tank glass, cost only RM2. fast and clean without hand in. just take the blade slot the top portion of the cane (half slot not full slot). need to watch out when your fish come near to the blade.

If i want to upgrade my 2x1x1 tank to 3x1.5x1.5, how do I transfer the soil, plants fish and shrimp?

shall i transfer the soil and plants first, let the water cycle (or use back the water from 2x1x1 tank), then only put in fish and shrimp?
*
I done this before from 2ft to 4ft
1. take out your fish
2. take out the plant
3 suck out water and pour inside to new tank
4 take out the the soil to new tank
5 pour in fresh water to new tank with old water
6 put in the plant
7 on the filter for few hours
8 put in the fish
end (within 6 hours)

I have one way to kill my BBA or BGA etc without affected any fish and shrimp, without hand wet and save your seachem excel

1. Cut off the bottom part of 1.5 little minimal water and the small bottle (small bottle is to come out from the water surface)

2. join the 2 bottles tip together (i put rubber band in the between to get tight rip)

3. cover up those plant affected by BBA

4. pour 0.5ml- 1.0ml seachem excel to the bottle tip

5. let the plant soak for one hour or more

6. say bye bye to the BBA

1 stem Ludwigia repens = RM1

user posted image

Ludwigia repens is a familiar and very beautiful aquarium plant. It generally makes few demands and grows fast, but the red colour is more intense if the light is good. When pruned it develops countless side shoots and becomes more bushy. Suitable as an intermediate or background plant, and most effective when planted in groups.

Family Onagraceae

Continent North America

CO2 Requirements: Low

Height 30-50 cm

Width 5-8 cm

Light requirements: medium-very high

Temperature 19-29 °C

Hardness tolerance: very soft-hard

pH tolerance: 5,5-8

Growth: fast

Plant Type: Stem

Demands: easy

It's safe to use OceanFree algae remover to remove my BBA algae?
My tank got yamato, cardinal and rummy nose. Do i need to blackout few days if use this liquid. Please help?

if not teruk sangat then you can use injector to direct inject the BBA with excel. very fast u can see the BBA turn to white color.

you can get the long injector from Ciohbu
