Alright ive been at this for a year now, and so far have failed miserably. My tank is a 55 gallon-48" wide, maybe 12=14" deep.
Lighthing- 2x t5HO (only using one bulb right now to prevent crazy algae growth) Time is set to 8 hours of light a day
Substrate-Flourite
Additives- Excel dosing every day.
FISH: Flying Foxes, Neon tetras, Red eye tetras and black skirts. a few oto's
PLANTS:
java moss -HEALTHY
Dwarf hair (tall stuff)- Not healthy- think its being eaten
Staurogyne repens- look ok color wise- clearly being eaten.
Blyxa- eaten
amazon sword- no new growth
I think that the Flying foxes mightbe eating the plants... bought these fish to mop up on old BBA problems when i had both t5 lights on.
Any suggestions to the setup?
