My 4 x 2 x 2 tank

[Noddy65]

Hi all
Heres a pic of my planted tank.
320 watts T5
Pressurized CO2
Using dry ferts a few times a week and traces and Fe.
Substrate is just normal aquarium gravel, using root tabs under some of the crpts and the lotus.
Ph around 6.5, Kh around 4.
Prune weekly.
Have green spot and a little BBA.
Clean up crew is just some Otos (cant get shrimp here).

Thats about all.

Welcome to AQ!
That's a good looking tank, nice combinations of plants and colours, any shots from the front?
Crank up your CO2 to about 25-30ppm and do you dose PO4? That would help.
There're good articles on spot algae and BBA in the Fertilisation and Algae section, why don't you have a look there also.

Thanks Graeme
If you look closely you can see the glosso, its really slow growing but is only a few mm above the gravel so looks ok, it just needs to thicken up a bit.

Nice tank you have there.

Hey Noddy65 and Graeme, just like to know where do you get your stuff from? I might be moving back to Perth in a few years time. The only aquarium shop I knew was the one in Cannington next to Giri Martial Arts Supply.

Hi there
Lots of the plants we just get from each other, no money usually changes hands unless its unusual/difficult to get/hard to grow.
Most of the gear is DIY or just shopping online looking for the cheapest prices.
