Go easy on me this is my first try at a planted tank and i dont have pressurized CO2 yet.
The Wisteria looked better when i bought it but i got a bad case of BBA. I removed two stems of wisteria leaving the babies and 2 stems for the red shrimp to hide in. The Wisteria and the Ludwigia (??sp) have shot roots vertically down from the tops. Are they supposed to do this or is my tank lacking something. I have 2 canisters in the mail to replace the HOBs.
The Ludwigia is the one i bought at the last HAS auction when it was ~6". Its now 2ft+.
I have some green spot algae still but im increasing the phosphate levels. I have 3 bottles of yeast/sugar bubbling through an airstone. Im dosing the Rex Griggs dry ferts at half the recommended amounts. The lights are 4 x 56w T6's. 2 Plant growth/2 daylight.
Does anyone know the type of Apistos?
I also have 6 Discus (unknown types), Albino Longfins, RCS and Bamboo Shrimp.
Looking for constructive comments and suggestions. I know i need proper CO2 injection but what about the roots growing out of the Ludwigia? Im going to remove the Larger Wisteria after the babies grow out a bit.
