I've seen assassin snails dig into soil, worried about uprooting HC if it does.
Use assasin snails quite effective

Plant leaves turning a bit brown on the edges, any sensei to help with the problem?
Lights, 12pm-10pm
No Co2
Water temp 25degrees
10 hours of light is way too long... worst if it is without co2. If this carries on, algae will take over. I recommend reducing lights to 6 hours daily together with co2. As your hc is still in the transitioning stage, it needs plenty of co2 to help it, especially when it isn't 1-2 grow.... water temp is at a good level.
Ok will adjust the light hours shorter then. Thanks!
big problems, algae attack!
wall algae, hair algae......
sending in algae crew now
Keep your light duration minimum during first few weeks, 6 hrs.
7-10 hrs after they rooted and grow properly.

Yes already change to 6hours after Everlance mentioned. Hope the 6 sae I introduced today can clear up the algae
Can anyone tell me during HC transition, the leaves will turn yellow brown? Feeling
yes bro, my experience with dsm was that initially, they looked very promising with the intense bubbling the first few days. As the plant undergo the transition state to adapt to underwater, some will turn brown and melt. but after the transition period, it will start to regrow again. Just have to make ensure that you are giving them optimal level of light and co2 to support the growth. in my latest setup, i went for the established and submerged plants instead to avoid such problems.
by the way, your nick very familiar , are you from fjc forum previously?
Yeah thanks am doing that now. How long normally will it take to go back to the nicer green? My maid is telling me why my HC color so ugly compare to my outdoor dry HC potted farm
Yeah am from fjc but donkey years ago. You are?
Probably in a month's time. Once you see new leaves developing, it should be adapted to submerged.
Small world then, we met before. West here.
Oh hey! Yeah I remember. It's been a while
What soil are you using?
Ada Amazonia normal and powder

Just bought these. Any tips on how to use them?
I am now dosing anti algae solutions for my algae issues. Is it ok to mix?
You might follow some online dose calculator, for example I'm using calc.petalphile.com by Wet.
Never use urea, but might slightly careful using this, it's an ammonia mostly.
I tried using some calculators but all alien language to me
What's ppm target?
Matashi, overdosing of Seachem Excel helps fight algae.
I'm now using easylife algaexit. Works great! Can see significant amount of algae gone within a week.
New problem now is my new HC leaves seem to turn brown. I have stop dosing ferts while in algae treatment cos I'm not sure if I should mix. Co2 still same and intense pearling is still around. Any shifu can advice?
Temp : 25degrees
Co2 : 6 hours
Lighting 6 hours
Fauna : 8 SAE, 4 rasbora, 1 puffer, 3 oto
