What is that semi circle thing at the bottom right side of your tank?

[jromeslater]

Btw, do you inject CO2? If so, how many bubbles per second?

that is a cystal stone

i dont use CO2 at all, all the plants i using can survive without CO2 (if i not wrong) But got CO2 they will grow faster and nicer that what i know.

CO2 or not is depend on your light intensity as well as you plant species. I see BBA on your nana which is indication of CO2 fluctuation and/or insufficient flow

Sorry what is BBA?

[sqwerc]

BBA = black brush/beard algae

Planted tanks ultimate enemy hahahaha!

black bush algae. very famous one.

all plant need light and co2 in certain amount. more intense light more co2 you need. to photosynthesize

I using 2 T5 tube for it and the co2 tablets.

No offense but my thoughts are T5 is a lot light, especially if directly mount on top your tank . Co2 tablets is not co2 source to my dictionary

As for the back agle must clean off?

Too my much light? I don't on 24 hours. Maybe 6 hours per day.

[milk_vanilla]

Light intensity what was i suppressing here.
T5 is relatively has higher intensity compare to other similar tubes model. Sometime folks try DIY in order to lower the intensity, like hung them higher, remove the bulb from the set, remove reflector, or buy t8, PL etc.

In the end of the day, your observation and tank result is your main decision to stay or not to stay.

Base on this pic is it too much light?

[milk_vanilla]

difficult to find out the intensity level from photo shoot, or even naked eyes. We need special light meter to have precise measurement.

The easiest is through weeks observation that could tell how far the light could made the change.

so far so good IMHO as my plants are growing.

Cos me just doing simple planting (Low Tech) to let the fish has a better home.
