I'm glad you guys started talking about this actually, because I was just reading the air curtain might be a bad idea... everything I've read seems to be mixed! My baby tears didn't do so great, I'm pretty sure they're almost dead. I pruned the hygrophila pretty well & separated, haven't had the time to take a picture yet! Thanks @FromTheDarkness for the link! I've been doing the dosage on the back of the bottle even though it's a low tech planted. I started first with half dose to see if it made a difference, then upped it to full. The java fern seems to have went full on bright green & happy? I haven't had an issue with algae even though the Florapride is full dose as well.
Anyone have issues with Seachem's Excel line due to copper? I was even paranoid about adding Flourite, but all the inverts seem to be doing fine. We have 4 CPO dwarf mexican crays, 2 red cherries, 3 ghosts.
