Impressive HC growth you have without any algae. Controlled your lights/ferts/co2 very well

Great job! Care to share your equipment used as well as your CO2 dosing and ferts? Any fauna in there?

Thanks. But truth to be told, I was relying on the twinstar thing you see at the background.

Thanks. Actually after flooding, 1/2 of the Hc melted. So I removed those and placed some new ones

1) gex soil - the red packet type.
2) co2 - 2 bps
3) fan for cooling to 26c
4) up led lights
5) twinstar mini
6) plants are Hc and fissidens only
7) ferts I used seachem flourish comprehensive plant supplement and potassium
ottos and fire reds
think that's about it

Thanks for sharing! What is the twinstar mini used for? It looks great for a shrimp colony. Just saying.

Suppose to help slow algae growth. Personally, I believe it works. But every 6 months need to replace the mesh where the bubbles are generated. Quite expensive. About $80.
looking for alternative as there is another Taiwan brand which is much cheaper.

Thanks for the compliments. Now awaiting for the fissidents to cover the dw.... Maybe need a year.

Bro, dont need to change mesh every 6 months. Just use KAO bleach. Will do the trick.

I used a calcium removal thingy bought from daiso. Supposed to remove calcium build up in kettles. I use this about 2-3 weeks once.
But the bubble intensity of the twinstar was not as much as initially . So I thought need to change.

Very good, you manage to grow one of the difficult plant out there. Next work out on your scape
