Glosso / Japanese Hairgrass hehehe

my tank above having JHG + HC and the tank have gone thru with no lights at all, just ambient light for 3 weeks. they didnt die in my tank either.. dun underestimate your plants surviving capability u know..

worst to come is just the glosso would grow vertical for a while until the next trim.

Plant is a slow creature hehehe so it is OK just makesure there is oxygen else I worry not your plant buy fish and shrimp will die

not really planted aquarium related here but since i cant find any suitable forums to ask so have to ask u guys, since u guys are mostly pro on this i blif

how do i wash the gravel in my aquarium? i haven't wash my gravel since my first wash when i bought them. only perform water changes

i now noticed there's a layer of yellow forming on the gravel although i have a filter




now some planted aquarium question. i feel like converting my current normal setup into planted aquarium. my tank size is 15" x 8" . enough for planted aquarium? any other accessories i need : eg ; filter , other than those stated in first post? roughly need how much for a beginner set up?

need some recommendations for beginner

i dont really clearly see which are the yellow forming thing u mentioned but how long your tank have been setted up? it might be diatoms. otto and yamato would help you. they'll eat these soft-soft stuffs.

you can prolly vacuum the gravel using something like this:-



thats how i clean up my gravel last time......i DIY the gravel vacuum using hose n 0.5 mineral water bottle...

on the picture.u will noticed there's a few spots of white. the rest are yellowish

i think my tank is up for 1 and a half month now.

bos...i ve read the article uve given, n using my basic understanding of microbiology, chemistry n advance biology, there is no part in that article talks about BGA... ( it talks mainly about composition of urticularias trap liquid, how it differs under different condition n microorganism diversity in the plant's trap...) except for one part where it talks about xylitol (exist at trap surface) , where it has the property to inhibit bacteria's colony to produce biofilm (n from my understanding, BGA is cyanobacteria, n the colony produce biofilm as protection against element) ... prolly u gave me the wrong article?

when did the first sign of this thing appeared that you started to notice? i assume this is just a normal diatoms. happens to new tanks most of the time. u'll get it cleared earlier with otto and yamato or u can jsut leave it just like that..... when the time coems, it will dissappear by itself. but you can always vacuum your gravels too. just use the hose when the time you do your WC.

i start noticing it i guess 2 weeks ago. hope u are right it will disappear soon enough. how about my question below?

Any1 has tried "air jambu" branches as driftwood decoration?is that ok for planted tank with shrimp?

haish..need to wait until sunday to get back my lamp from NA..cant wait
doing a road tour to 4 fs today...cant find any Christmas moss ..anyone have one?
