any full tank shot update?

btw maybe you can try cutting down on your lighting or try to find the balance to reduce algae growth

Not full tank shot till maybe June...

Algae has improve somewhat, now its much more manageable. It should be completely gone when AS has finally run out of nutrients, I think my mistake was to put too much AS when doing this scape.

Also most likely, 4x9 watts is too much, but 3x9 watts is too little so I've learnt my lesson. The next time I am using an ADA dimension tank, I will use the lighting that they recommend.

Now that the competition is over, I am decomming this tank so this is the FTS. Thanks to everyone again for their invaluable advice in setting up Sanzon Iwagumi and hopefully my next project will be sometime this year.

This tank has ended on a very happy note, after struggling so long with algae, there is totally no trace of it for the last few weeks. What I did was to add 5 times the amount of ADA Step 2 and double the amount of Brightly K as per ADA's daily recommendations. Another reason to decom is because 4x9w are really not ideal, glosso still grows quite tall as the intensity is just not there. But all in all, this has been a personal success for me.

Special thanks to Blue33 for helping me get this far.

Muy bonito enhorabuena.

[fireblade]

its a pity to see it go..
but thats life.. come and go..

[blue33]

Well done! You did it yourself, i just provided some tips only. Although glosso growing upwards but it matches the style and scape of this tank, well done on the trimming part.

[fireblade]

[blue33]

LOL! You caught me red handed. ... Sorie to hijack your thread.

[JadeIceGreen]

Wah, fireblade also know that you advice me to change the layout of my filter. Lol.
Yeah, I like the glosso growing upwards for this scape, but that will mean that I will have to attempt a proper carpet sometime in the future!

This is the reason why AQ is great, I would have never learnt so many lessons about scaping and maintenance if not for everyone's help here.

[blue33]
