still cloudy from the substrate. im going to make a few adjustments at the next water change, i couldnt see anything when i was planting yesterday, the water was solid brown, and i even bumped into the fish a few times!

thanks. for lights i have four 30w t-8s with flora sun bulbs, and four 39w t-5hos (2 plant and 2 10k), which comes out to 2.2wpg. im also running pressurized co2, but im still dialing it in. i used soilmaster select for substrate and am dosing dry fertz. the plants are:

2 amazon swords
2 java ferns
2 crypt becketi
2 anubias nana
2 red wendti
green temple narrow
lim. hip. (aromatica)
wisteria
rotala indica
stargrass
red jungle vals
e. tennelus narrow leaf


im expecting a good deal of die off and what not as the plants get situated. any advice or tips for keeping them healthy?

wat u feed caribe

good cichlid pellets like hikari bio-gold. almost any kind of seafood (tilapia/catfish filets, shrimp, scallops). or nutritional (not goldfish) feeders if you know they dont have any diseases or parasites. i have a convict pair in a 20l and every few months i release a couple hundred small ones in the tank.
