hi i need your opinion im planning to scape a low tech tank but just only use bucephalandra (full buce tank) is it better to use soil capped with silica sand or without soil just silica sand better for long term? thanks in advance

Hello, you can check out our webpage on growing hygrophila chai ! Most of the info is there: www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/freshwater-aquarium-plants-guide/how-to-grow-hygrophila-sp-chai

@@2hrAquarist Thank you, i have read your blogs through and through and am a big fan, i was looking for more like an video because there is very less information on it in youtube, also i learn better when i see. I have followed your eriocaulon growing video and found very good results, hence asking

hi , i want to ask your opinion i just started my planted tank (currently in cycling) i think im added too many osmocote (6-13-25) during the setup i think i sprinkle maybe around 100 pellets (not sure how many but i feel i put too many )under dirt and aquasoil ,am i screwed? im planning to plant many root feeder like swords and crypts so i thought i needed many nutrients in substrate but after the setup i research if there's any effect if i put too much osmocote i read mixed report that osmocote will leach huge ammonia overtime and will kill the fauna/not safe for fauna , will damage the plant / burn the plant ,and will damage the substrate etc i thinking to start over but i want to consult to expert first . my setup 11 gallon , base layer pumice and dirt , topped with aquasoil , planning to stay in low tech for a moment , and planning to plant heavily thanks in advanced

The good thing is that most terrestrial osmocotes not designed for underwater usage leech out the majority of their components in a short time (couple of weeks). So it wouldn't leech for long term, it is the short term ammonia spike that is usually the issue. So you can try running the tank empty for a couple of weeks, do a couple of large water changes then plant. Swords and crypts are quite hardy, so they will be less affected than other plants. However, if your osmocote contains trace mix meant for terrestrial plants, it may/usually contains too much copper. That may poison the substrate layer longer term as the heavy metals bind to the soil.

Hello, I have one question from Japan. What is the maximum CO2 level that can be increased in an aquarium without fish or shrimp?

@2hrAquarist Год назад

Hello, you can keep injecting more and more CO2, but eventually the off-gassing rate from the water surface will make it difficult to keep injecting more. I have heard of cases where the tank has a 2 pH drop, and 60-70+ppm of CO2. There are diminishing returns to more CO2 though, so beyond a certain amount, you won't see any improvement in growth rates of the plants. The red Eriocaulon Quinguangulare does better at 40+ ppm CO2 than say at 30ppm or below, but it is the exception. The large majority of aquatic plants do not need very high CO2 levels to grow well. In nature style tanks with easy plants, the tank can be grown with 10 - 15ppm CO2 without issues. In fact in such cases, low CO2 may give less trimming work as the plants grow more slowly.

@ダブル-h7v Год назад

@@2hrAquarist thank you. So, I'm thinking of managing it at 30ppm as before.

@napaquatics3639 Год назад

Time for a start to finish video of using apt sky. I'm using it and the numbers on the bag do not add up..im using 0ppm and add 3 scoops to 15 gallons of 0ppm and inget 139 ppm

That sounds like you're in the range. Bear in mind that TDS isn't an accurate gauge of GH - hobbyist conductivity meters are very rough gauges. If you have accurate kits for Ca and Mg values, it will add up exactly.
