cycle25 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 3 hours ago, Coolbriz said: Hi cycle25, your substrate doesn't look like one that should be used for planted tank? The challenge with planted tank lies with setting it up correctly with the right type of substrate used. It is especially tough if you choose aquatic grasses as ground covers. The fact that your ground covers keep floating up suggests that root establishment is poor and this is likely due to your substrate. The initial set up of a planted tank is crucial and introduction of live stock should only be done after the plants have established and not the other way round. I see. Thanks for the help! Shall see if I get a chance to do something different in time to come. My guppy tank needed a change as something affected the water parameters drastically causing rapid algal bloom. At least I have a better understanding of how to go about a planted tank now. Nonetheless, how do I anchor the grass into the substrate? Also, are there any other options for the ground cover instead of the grassy type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, how do I anchor the grass into the substrate? Also, are there any other options for the ground cover instead of the grassy type? There will certainly be a wide range of alternative ground covers to serve your needs but can I take the liberty to suggest using mosses as ground cover as it works for me and so you might want to consider? Right now, I am using the moss, "Fissidens Moss" or some places called it "Phoenix moss" as ground cover. Ok, facts about this moss. It's very slow growing and thus might seem to be unsuitable to be used. It takes patience to have them cover your tank bottom but trust me, it's worth the effort. This moss is sometimes sold tied to rectangular metal strips. Thus, installation is made simple. Just need to bury the entire metal strips slightly below the substrate level. For a start, you can try to prevent the metal strip from floating by using heavy object like stones on both ends of the strips. When the mosses establish, the stones can be removed. There is no need to add fertiliser as mosses require little nutrients to grow. This is an advantage as adding fertiliser can sometimes cause algae bloom as excess nutrients go to the algae. Let me know if you eventually decide to use this as ground cover then we can discuss further on how to get you started Quote Be cool, like a breeze...

I guess I also liked the delicate look, heh. Thanks so much for your tips. Let me see if I can do anything for my goldfish tank as it may need some sprucing up soon.

lovehandle Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I m glad Dr. Shrimp aka Coolbriz is around to answer most of your qns As you know some aq shop staff or blogs/websites will tend to over exagg their sharings eg many told me for shrimps , good to have soil as substrate, but I don't have one and my friend's friend (aka mult-breeded of 4 dozen of babies over a 4mth+ period) also don't have soil and some said copper no gd for shrimps (still a controversial topic) I think practical experience is still more impt, afterall Some readings on go-ez practical experience:http://www.bookmasters.com/marktplc/00388Shrimp.pdf some frens use direct tap water as mentioned in: Some wanna aged it for 3-7days, some like me aged 1 day+ those liquids like nutrifin Actually tap water is ok for the shrimps (but nt ok for fish)as small traces of chlorine will not harm us or humans, just tt it will kill off the beneficial bacteria that break down waste and toxins in your tankhttp://www.shirakura-shop.de/en/usage.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help help!! I noticed that there is a long worm in the water and another one hiding in the mossball... so do i just scoop it up and? what can i do to prevent this again?Are these really caused by residues? but there is no way, I can totally clear the dirt on the floorbed using siphon and experts said no gd to fully clear the dirts too...Sorry that I cannot attach the video on the moving worm!!!!* limited size attachmt Edited January 4, 2016 by lovehandle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehandle Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry shirtless to have made u feel gross Live stocks as in live plant yes! There are some teardrop plants on the surface of the waters (they luv to nibble on them) but I thought it s safe to do so and the next living plant is the mossball, but it is an algae to be accurateOther than that no meat etc are allowed in the tank only from last tues, I started changing their meals to : pellets by hikari (but I doubt this is the issue rt?) - v small size but VERY EXPENSIVE! (a small pack 10g costs close to sgd9), I have a hard time getting them to eat the pellets and eventually they relented http://www.hikariusa.com/diets/crustaceans/shrimpcuisine/http://forum.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-54519.htmlhttps://www.theshrimpfarm.com/posts/hikari-shrimp-cuisine-a-review (but after eating 1-2 shrimps successfully did moulting last nite) and the fren who fed her shrimps w direct tap water always have the worm issue, too! She said it should be the residues of shrimps discharge and leftover foods...and the tendency of mossball to induce worms( I saw the worms wriggling on the surface of the balls) Help help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soak the plants in saltwater for 15 minutes, then give them a good rinse in fresh water before introducing them to the aquarium. This should destroy eggs that are hanging on without doing harm to the plants Edited January 4, 2016 by lovehandle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
