moomoo28's new 1ft cube tryout

[Verminator]

More iron, and in general they require higher light too.

ok, currently dosing with tetra brand flora pride liquid fertiliser which is suppose to give iron and prosphate. Hope it helps, as blue33 mention before, i increase my dose to twice weekly. Hope the red will stand out more

Limit phosphate and nitrate with high lighting will bring out extreme red, too long starving will kill the plant, what you can do is reduce phosphate and use with highlighting and cold temperature, nitrate wise, use accordingly.

thanks blue i have change my liquid fertiliser to dymax flora plus as my old one depleted.. this one does not have any prosphate and nitrate. The red is seems to be coming back this 2 weeks, hope will turns out well

comments and suggestions are welcome

nice tank! I love it! especially the photo is taken with a nice school of rasbora.

nice update, though i would have preferred maybe 2-5 small fishes in that tank size.

ya, got abit greedy and took in some corydoras as they are simply too cute, intending to start another tank next year maybe will shift some of the tank mates over to avoid high bioload.

learn alot from bros from this forum with scapes that simply wow me, will work hard de to create a dream tank of my own

[moomoo28]

update tank pics
any comments suggestion most welcome


hairgrass spreading almost whole of foreground, plant some hong tai yang too, bought 20 malayan shrimps from NA previously, they keep multiplying till think got 100+ in my tank. I think my bioload is too high increase wc to every 3 days once.

Loving the moss in the far right corner. Looking brilliant. Theres a nice balance in this tank now with the plants filling in - congratulations.

Wow... You got yourself a good lawn of hairgrass, nice scape.

A update of my tank


I know it still look messy with all the plants overlapping, i spend a 5 hrs trimming the moss and plucking the e.tellnus(they grow like weed and is going to swallow up my tank), but too much shrimps inside, afraid that the soil disturbance will killed them


my shrimps population boom from a 20 to above 200 a mixture of malayan and cherry shrimps inside. Above is a shot of them on my moss, and alot of shrimplets inside the thick moss, only come out when i feed them algae wafer

managed to grab a pic of this snail finally, will like to check if this is the red ramshorn snail? it has been lurking my tank for half a year but I never do anything to it because I find its color very nice, now it has grow to a size of a 20 cents. Never bought it at all, i guess it come with my marimo balls that I purchase half a year ago
