Yeah... and how there is not a spec of algae either? Wow!

Thanks to all of you that liked it

But i promise i have had my share of algae but i learn something about them every time it happen, the hard way

I did a mistake to sell all my Salvinia auriculata n Limnobium (Fast growing flotingplants) and in the same moment i change the tub lights and put in reflector to them so i would have better light that i had before, now i have power glo 18000 k and Aqua star 10000k, power glo, didnt get the Rose red as fine in color as before but the plants like it better.
But now i didn't have enuff of fast growing plants and more light to handle so it exploded in Staghorn and some other friends of his, so there for i nuke it with excel/EC= easycarbo and get some fast growing plants fast, so i bought some polysperma to take care of it and about 50-70 Cherry Shrimp that supposed to be in there sence day 1.... But now its OK again for this time


So i have made many mistake to learn from....
Just for making it short

The tank is a:

Low light 0.35 W/L x 10 hour
Nutrients: PMDD
Co2 i use EC= Easycarbo
And follow the IE (Estimative Index) style in WC and nutrient dose...

Beautiful tank and gorgeous, fat discus! I love the monstera deliciosa you had set up in your old tank, never even thought of taking one of those for placement in a tank.

Great job and thanks for the update photos!!

Thank you!!
Yes the monstera is a great idea to a BB tank but in this case i had to remove it, to much competitions to the other plant in the tank
Just love this RR, its from the same batch as the winner in the swe champ...
creed to the creator....

Hello Dizkuz,

Great setup you have there. Do you keep any plecs in with the BTN background? Ive just got a Pangea background and Im wondering what Plecs will be ok with it?
