Re: Beginner's Iwagumi Journey
Hi,
Nice DSM setup and layout! I see that you are removing excess water, which is a good thing. this will prevent to a certain extent the fungus and mould (is it mould or mold?)
However, the combination of the humidifier and the spray bottle might introduce too much humidity. Fungus may still come back. What i suggest is for the humidifier to still be there, but only spray when you open the lid for air-ing or replenishment of the humidifier water.
Another thing is the lighting. i have used 55W on a 2ft DSM for HC and was successful. My lighting was on for 10 hours continuous. So i am not sure whether the increased intensity and increased duration will work better. the increased intensity will probably benefit the tank due to the misty environment diffracting light away from the plants but i am not so sure.
note that if you ever do spray, aim. HAHA.
when the rocks get spray and is so humid, it might get some algae. its easy to clean it off the rocks, but messy to remove totally from the tank..
Hope it helps.
I am balding but i am still young!
