My suggestion would be for you George, The plant profile videos are great but if you can add more info as in what parameters you grow it best in, how to make it look appealing and or its trimming or stages it goes in its life will be very helpful, as the videos are very monotonous about some info of the plant along with how to prepare it from pots or tc cups. More info will give an in-depth knowledge to the budding aquascapers along with them able to help the plant survive and teach them to propagate them! Cheers!
Hello George hello Tropica team. A great video as always, BUT !!! Can you please include at least one subtitled in German in the future, you would gain so many viewers if you included other subtitles in the videos ... regards Aquascaping Fantastic World
Hi Jack, we're trying to help and guide aquascapers of all levels and it is not easy to do so through a limited 5-10 minutes video. Our website contains extensive guides and valuable information for a successful aquascaping experience.
@@jackoghost You are right Jack, other products are indeed available. Our expertise lies within our own product range which is why we focus on our core knowledge when sharing tips and advices. We could not guarantee for products we have not tested. Thank you for your feedback nevertheless, we do hope you still got some valuable tips out of the content.
I might have asked...but if not ,Tropica how are you on developing large numbers of Crepidomanes auriculatum for the aquarium hobby? Seen it at Steinhart growing well on no Co2,no real special care or lighting. Now I WANT ONE!👍
@@TropicaAquariumPlants You know,there is a Vallisneria native to only Lake Malawi..it has a more sagittaria look to my eye with short wide stiff leaves. You would make a fortune on sales to Mbuna keepers planting that tough plant in sands between rocks. My million dollar idea!
Gouramis didn't fit at all in this tetra aquarium (wrong continent also). This is a great plant aquarium were the fish comes in second. The ugliest neontetras ever seen :).
A challenge for sure Ensure maximum safe levels of CO2 (at least 20 ppm), really good circulation i.e. no dead spots - check rocks, wood etc. are not creating dead spots, scrupulous removal of affected leaves and prune and prune again, and grow light hungry fast growing plants under high lighting - around 1 watt of LED or T5 per litre. Check Phosphate levels and make sure you keep them low, certainly not more than .5 ppm. I also think moderately soft water is less prone to this tank menace. In my experience this is the one type of algae problem that lower temperatures and shorter photoperiod makes no difference. Good luck, you will get there with time and regular maintenance.
@@williammcdowell6257 Or just ensure that your balance between nutrients and light period is correct. I've had quite some BBA in my 50 gallon but got rid of it in about 2 months by just balancing out my nutrient levels and lighting period, no BBA for a year straight now. I don't use a co2 injection at all, also got slightly alkaline water (around 7,4-7,6 ph). And yeah, decent circulation is key.
@@TropicaAquariumPlants No problem. In general, I see my comment could come off as rude. I just care about this fish and this channel, and I've seen channels plumit just from putting fish in th wrong tank sizes o.o
Hi. If you don't have the time, once per week can suffice, otherwise it is indicated to fertilize once per day in accordance with the water volume, plant quantity/type and aquarium specs. For more info on the general guidelines check: tropica.com/en/plant-care/liquid-fertilisers/premium-nutrition/
you put the tropica nutrition every day? seriously? where in the manual does it say that? i just ask because i can't get the hang of my newest aquarium... it is making me crazy i had several more or less successful before but this one (almost a year old) is killing me... during extreme heat in summer i got a ton of algae and i am struggling ever since. i have co2, good light, water testing is fine, regular water changes (about 50% per week) but my plants simply disintegrate into oblivion! last time i bought even the "easy" ones... the ones that don't need co2 and can do with low light for example, because i reduced light time to fight algae... they are all gone! no trace of "they are overgrowers and fill the beginner aquarium in a week"... and the other, older plants or basically grey because the beard algae did enclose the leaves almost completely. long time i thought using tropica nutrition only once per week after water change is enough. - should i try to put it every day? i was always afraid of over fertilizing... look at your pretty staurogyne repens!! you would throw up if you'd see mine... disgusting! cheers man! always great content! all the best!
It is not specified in the manual how often to use Tropica nutrition, but generally, it is recommended to use it once a week after a water change. Over-fertilization can lead to an excess of nutrients in the water, which can contribute to algae growth. In your case, the presence of excessive algae suggests that there may be an imbalance of nutrients in the aquarium. I suggest experimenting with different dosing frequencies and monitoring the water parameters closely to see if daily dosing improves the health of your plants. Additionally, make sure you are using the correct amount of fertilizer for the size of your aquarium and you might also want to consider adding some fast growing plants that are known for their ability to compete with algae for nutrients like Limnophila sessiliflora or Ceratopteris thalictroides. Hope this helps you with your fight against algae.
@@TropicaAquariumPlants thanks a lot for your reply. i thought that one time per week after water change was the goto. i guess i will try to add more. yes, algae are the problem, but not my main problem. i am fighting the algea now with stronger chemical means, but my main problem is the plants (even the simpler and less demanding ones) disintegrating into oblivion. i know limnophilia and ceratopteris... great fast growers, had them before. didn't like their agressive growth. but thx for the tip anway. i am now fighting algae with extreme strong chems and set my light back to a normal schedule since it anyway didn't help fighting the algae. maybe the reduced light is the reason for the plants to die. after the algae therapy i will start "fresh" with maybe more tropica nutrition than the baseline, and see where it goes. thank you so much. all the best!
Your website looks nice and professional however it seems there’s no option how to order your products, if only way how to purchase is through pets at home .. let’s be honest that shop is horrible, it’s like Tesco for pets
