Hi
This is my current tank. As you can see im pretty pants at aquascaping, but i think once the larger plants fill in it should look better.
600 litre tank currently dosing with EI and pressureised co2. Running a fluval fx5 and also a 1500lph powerhead as a diffuser. 4x80Watt daylight tubes give me about 2.5 WPG. As you can see this has also given me a few algae issues.
Currently houses 1 yoyo loach, 3 clown loaches, red tail shark, synodontis eupterus, 4 pygmy corys and 10 neons - pretty light loading i think
What i am in dire need of is some suggestions on a good carpeting or other foregrounds plant that wont grow much higher than 100mm. I am also thinking about moving th swords on the lefr but dont know where - i think they need to go to the back but dont know where.
CO2 question - i have a drop checker with 4dkh solution and it isnt green, but somewhere firmly between green and blue. It had definateley changed colour from the deep blue it started off with, but i cant get it to go green. I am running co2 through powerhead which gives a burst of very fine bubbles - so fine they are hardly visible - and shoots them all around the tank so the water is full of these tiny bubbles. I think its about as good as il ever get (2 large ceramic diffusers from Malaysia still not arrived) but im not sure theyll do any better. Any suggestions as to why this is??
Thanks in advance
