the branches one looks better compare the other 1......
not sure about the size, isn't to big for 2ft?

if the branches being used, let the branches out from ur tank imo but u must hang ur lighting set....

the tank dimension is 60cm(L) x 45cm(w) x 35cm (H)
The tiles on the floor is the indication of the wood size as it is 1square feet each..Will it look nice if use both wood or just a single piece?

Need help from sifu here sad.gif sad.gif

1. my 60cm x 45cm x 35cm tank is currently infested with thread algae. Currently I am using T5HO 24w x 4 lighting and only ADA iron bottom in the soil. Lighting period is 8 hours total with 3 hours on in the morning follow by 3 hours off then on back again for 5 hours. CO2 supply is 2bps. How can I remove the algae?? Tried to remove it with tooth brush but seems like it attached to my plants quite tightly and not easy to remove.

2. my CO2 check valve had backflow after the CO2 being turned off at night. Some of the water in the bubble counter flow into the tubing and pass through the check valve sad.gif sad.gif The check valve is connected before flowing into bubble counter and in the correct direction. The CO2 tank is connected to 2 diffuser to supply to 2 different tank. both of the plastic check valve (different brand) also showed backflow after the CO2 is turn off. I have check the solenoid connection with the CO2 tank and into the divider but could not find any leakage..
