Hallo, http://www.barrreport.com/articles/3444 ... actor.html [hr] Dieser Reaktor kostet ca. 20 Dollar, da ein durchsichtiges PVC Rohr genutzt worden ist. Alternativ kann man natürlich ein normales 2“ (5 cm Durchmesser) Rohr nehmen. Alle diese Teile sollte man im nächsten Baumarkt...

Haha, my German is worst than your English Manni! Do not put too much pressure on Tobi, it takes time to re write things back into different languages manually and the translation engines.....well, they are so so at best :oops: Plants have a large range of nutrients that they grow in and...

I think someone asked about higher NO3 and PO4 in regards to EI: Here's is Limnophila aromatica, about 14 cm across, vibrant color. And There are Rose line barbs, Rare plecos, wild Apistos, Cardinals, and several breeding events.......the tank is standard EI dosing and the NO3...

It's been rather cold here, so this is not my best example but the other examples, I've sold to folks already. There is a 10 cm slope front to back here. It's been about 10 C here for the last 10 days, so the HC has not grown like it normally has. I keep these tanks outside. I used...

Toby, it does prevent algae at this stage. Relative to any other method or alternative......... where is algae going to grow better, out of water or under water? No matter how you argue this point, the favor will always be o the dry method for reduced algae presence and helps to established...

No, because the plants have well established root system already! As well as the submersed bacteria(since the sediment is still very wet/submersed). the leaves can adapt pretty fast when flooded, the roots are not the same however. We also transplant the roots when we try traditional...

Thanks Tobi, I think it's a pretty helpful method and boy.....is it easy to do! If you consider just the iwugami style alone(it can work for most styles of layouts), this makes that layout 100% easier ..... and that's a fairly popular style. This works well with many species besides HC...

I've been toying with a few ideas that are I suppose radical to most, but not really when you think about it. This method allows you to set the tank up flawlessly in the start up phase which is arguably the hardest and toughest phase of planted tank care. You can grow in many species of...

Here's some more for a tank I take care of. And Sorry for the bad photo's, I only have a few minutes to snap a shot! This tank has standard EI and a heavy fish load. Been running for about 4 years now. The owner's staff have been doing better, the last clown was not good at...

I do this for all my tanks for fish, rarely will I use another species from too far away. Single species or perhaps 1-2 are common, namely a foreground plant. HC and hair grass, or another grass are popular etc. Most have too much lighting here though. Then they obsess about other...

Many companies sell 6500K and a few sell 8000-8800K. Reef users often used the 6500K with atinic. Many are switching to 70-150, 250 HQI bulbs here though. I like them much more, they are small and detract less from the tank, you can alos raise and lower them to influence the light...

My L. cuba does quite well by anyone's standard's judges etc. Some folks do not like stronger reds, most do, some want precise colors and leaf forms, but that is much more a rate of growth issue. At faster rates, the plants have less time to assimilate the nutrients and structure...

Hallo Mark, I focus on PAR units. Otherwise, if the bulb color looks nice to your own sense of aesthetics, your own eyes, go with it. It makes little difference to the plants or algae. They care about PAR and duration/intensity/angle of incidence etc. Other than duration, few aquarist...

If curly leaves is all they have, that's not something called aesthetics and has virtually nothing to do with rates of growth, leaf length etc or other parameters used in Botany/Plant Science. I need things I can measure and hard data points, otherwise you start taking about things that some...

____________________________ Hallo Kora, I think I made it fairly clear as far as NH4 dosing vs NO3 dosing in several articles. Krombholz and Gerloff, 1966, shows that several species of aquatic plants had their maximum growth rate at 20-30 ppm, and then the curve flattened out till...

You might consider using metal window screen, you can cut to any pattern and reduce the light in certain spots, or aluminum foil/polished metal flashing. This can help some plants. Less is better when nit comes to lighting. Regards, Tom Barr

Yes, it was conspicuously absent:) I like the U. grammifolia clumps flowing around the pathways in between. I see patterns like this in natural systems. I've always been fond of such patterns. My tone is decisively different about the more artistic side and scaping side of planted...

I like Green Reef's use of it tied growing on the rock. Looks very natural :D Regards, Tom Barr

Hallo, This is Utricularia in a no CO2 tank outside with shade cloth to reduce the light to 200 micromols. No nutrients or CO2 are added, just ADA aqua soil and I've done the same with the mud from a wetland soil. The water slowly drips through tank at about 40 liter/hr and the tank is...

Mark, the plant is Rotala variety "Green". It's a fast growing weed that Amano often uses and makes nice groupings. You prune the "shape" by topping and then wait for the new growth to appear to get those nicely planted shapes. It's much easier than you might think if you have seen it done...
