Fair enough. The glut content put me off at first, but I've generally made peace with it lol

I'm ok with that, it's suppose to be a more readily available source of carbon for plants. I could never see the effects of flourish excel which is why I always questioned how well it works. It's definitely not an economical way to add co2 to the water. I have seen the effects it has on algae and excel sensitive plants though
 
Depends on pricing. I am just thinking that a small supply of co2 wont be too expensive and will work wonders on plants.

Apparently it also makes bolbitis easier to grow

price depends on quantity, for nano aquariums it's cheaper; especially in the initial outlay; gas is better long term and offers the best form of carbon source

Ah ok.


Oooh yes. My one teacher had an 80 litre tank that cracked its base recently that he said i could have. If i can fix it my first proper scape is coming :)

It is a perfect fit, but the 2 long sides are open to viewing so i will have to get creative

Don't bother, a lot of work to fix cracked bottoms unless you just silicone glass over it. It is the bottom so looks don't really matter, can't see it with substrate anyways

I plan on doing that, and it will have substrate so i am good. Would perspex work for that?

The thing is the tank is an odd size (79cm) which fits my desk, the next standard tanks are 90cm which are too long so this is worth it

So busy right now don't have much time for doing much but with the pressurized CO2 and the added ferts the growth of the plants has just exploded. Still needs a background but I slipped a piece if white paper back there for now. I'll post an update pic later so there's no glare

Try some wax paper with some blue LEDs behind for an interesting effect
 
Picked up some dry ferts and began EI dosing today on the tank. Gave the carpet a huge trim of at leat 50% it's mass will keep updating on the growth rate difference and overall plant growth
