- sorry... forgot. wat size ur tank? simple rules, if a carpet plant growing tall, it simply means they try reaching ur lights. wattage also useless if penetration isnt good enough to reach the bottom. we humans can see the lights till bottom but plants, they need to reach it, not just see it. use a correct lightings.
*
mine is just 350mm x 210mm x 250mm (H).
how to know i'm using the correct light? for my tank, 2.56w/L is recommended right..
or i should increase the watt?? hmm.gif
seems it's more to try and error, is it??

QUOTE(usermode @ Apr 9 2012, 10:32 AM)
-lights are quite a factor for a growth pattern of plants. do you know even a rotala can creep instead growing tall? same do other stem plants as well? they wont creep like HC or glosso fo course, but they'll growth horisontally and will have few many more along the horizontal ones. bit hard to explain if you still not understand... if got chance i'll take photo from my tank.

waiting for your tank's photos

- plus, one day doesnt shows anything. wait for a week at least. monitor their behaviour along the time. they didnt die doesnt mean they're already happy. lot of ways t o check fish behavior on their particular species. do some homework from google. try throw some yamato or RCS at least in there and see hwo many survived in a week. then only you'll know exact result of your water stability.
*
ok, will monitor the feeder fish behaviour for this 1 week.
yamato and RCS are quite expensive to become lab rat

what are those orange color small ball like stuff on the gravel?
imo, the dragon stone on the left be taller a bit to cover the filter intake head, glosso look like just plugged-in
not yet taken root. But i like the flat stone on the left , a few shrimps on those will be nice.

umm those look like JBL micromec media in the filter.

*
thanks arrow..
those orange actually balance of africana soil. thought i can use the balance to make the slope but total failed
doh.gif
glosso already been there for 1 week. before this i already put them deep inside the soil. only leaf are visible but i forgot to take picture.
any idea to make the left stone higher?? top up soil??

- just buy aquarium lights la... PLL or LED or MH or T5.... as long not those table lamp or those included in 'commercial nano tank set RM100" type of promotion.
- dun scared one... just boom lights! hahaha... my tank got 250+Watts over it... just booM~ as long u get the balance right, ur plant grows like crazy! if something goes wrong, algae pulak comes like crazy. LOL~ but hey, in this hobby, u cant runaway from algae anyway. there's no tank without algae.
- for your size of tank, erm.. gimme the size in feet" la easier. i dun use WPG or whatever thsoe formula one. simply hantam and find balance myself. different tank have different plants, depth and requirements. one tank might not be the same suits another. so no spesific advise can give you on this unless i come to your hosue and see your whole tank and lightings and everything (including water temp, dosing schedule etc), then only can advise u... tongue.gif

i would welcome you to come and condemn my tank. my tank size in inch 14" x 8" x 10"(H).
i'm dosing them with BW Growth 1ml per 2 days

Morning,

Just to my curiosity, did u transfered your previous soil to new tank?

want to ask,

i am planning to chg to 2f tank.

i wonder the soil from old tank, how to transfer it out? do i need to make it dry 1st? or directly can use and put in the base of new tank? then cover with 1 layer of new soil?
*
i dont think you need to make it dry 1st. cos later for sure it will get wet..
just transfer to your new tank and topup with new aqua soil
