Once again you made an excellent video. Your reason for your success is true. Some aquatic plants will compete against other plants to dominate the tank. I’ve tried to keep the same species of plants together. Not only does it look nice, it easier on the plants to be successful. Some plants will send roots to the other side on the tank. You’ll see this when you break down your aquarium. Bacopa Caroliniana sent roots clear across the tank. Even though it reproduces by stem reproduction, it roots also grows in an attempt to dominate a tank. Diane Walstad’s book on the Ecology of the planted tank is a must have for every aquatic plant Hobbyist. I enjoyed watching, as usual. Thank you for sharing.

It's not just nitrifying bacteria that matter. For terrestrial crops, studies have shown that plants that grow in soil that contains matured, abundant, and diverse colonies of bacteria and fungi grow better than plants that grow in sterile soil. All those microbes interact with the soil and the plants in a multitude of ways we don't understand yet. For example, trees will interact with one another and trade resources amongst each other through underground networks of fungal mycelia. So it makes sense that microalgae grows better in mature tanks. They've had time to develop a diverse micro-ecosystem of fungus and bacteria.

Hi Bud, great content as always. Re the light, I’ve been using the Fluval sea nano marine light for a while on a similar size nano, and it works really well! Day settings: 8am - 5pm = Pink 2%, Cyan 70%, blue 100%, purple 85%, cold white 15%, then run 100% blue in the evening until it switches off around 22:00, steady coral growth, great colours and the corals all seem to be happy 👍🏻

In your nano tank with the lava rock you have caulerpa taxifolia but the light is a blue light it looks like. I would love to add some caulerpa prolifera to my tank but my light is a Kessil 180 tuna blue, do you think I could grow caulerpa with it? The tank is a standard 29 gallon.

Looking great mate! Are you selling any of your Halimeda? Also interesting, I only do very small water changes maybe once a month or every 3 weeks on my tank and the cryptonemia has gone nuts! But as you said, initially I had trouble with it and it wouldn't grow and then it just changed its mind one day and bloomed. Maturity must help.

I've all of these variety of Macro Algae. All the Red Macro or from Rodophyta Ordo need an intense Iron & Magnesium to growth & absolutely they like low to moderate light intensity. The Red Ogo is easy to grow, maybe some Iron for dosing could help them to survive. If u said it was finicky maybe u need to try the Corallina species. They're totally really hard to keep, the texture seems like a skeleton & need stable Big 3, low nutrient & also medium to high light to keep them alive

@EverydayAquarist Жыл бұрын

I'll up my dosing

@noodienoodles9191 Жыл бұрын

@@EverydayAquarist especially Rodophyta, gettin thin the thallus they r tolerate low nitrate & phosphate. If gettin thick they can tolerate high nitrate & phosphate. It's from my personal sources by my Gracilaria (hayii & curtissae), Dragon tongue & Palmaria Palmata

I should make a video about my setup, but i am bad at speaking english😂 I am Team no water change, only redosing. Sometimes i think doing water change would be easier and cheaper, but dosing every single element missing, i learn more which element causes which grow. And yes, lower light is better. I blasted my caulerpa woth almost 600 PAR and it didn't grow well, now i am at 100 Par and it grows finally

@EverydayAquarist Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I only test major elements so big water changes means I replace everything. Make a chart of which elements do what? Would be interesting 👍

@@EverydayAquarist doing waterchanges to replace trace elements in my big System would cause that i lower No3 and Po4 even more, and i am already low, so it would cost me more at the end
