Looks like hygophila difformis to me, all emersed leaves though
Yup - Same amount of light but spread over a larger area in winter, so it isn't as intense
Ah, right, misinterpreted your drawing then. All looks good then :thumbup: I'm curious to see how it works out
You'll need to watch out for what happens with a power outage - having the intake of the overflow so low means the water will siphon out until it...
I have no experience with them i'm afraid. It might help with any algae spores that are floating around, but anything stuck on a surface will be...
It's going to be difficult to control your lighting schedule with those time periods - that totals up to about 9 hours a day. The sunlight will be...
I know the struggle - i've always had that oily film on my tanks, no matter how long a tank was running. You get small surface skimmers that could...
I think the bracing is unnecessary. I checked an online calculator, and 8mm glass will give you a safety factor of 6.7. For reference, most braced...

I'd leave those smaller branches/roots - small details take a scape to the next level. That extra bit of tank depth means you can make those...
I'm not sure - my gut response says yes, but any kind of surface movement will drop your levels of dissolved CO2. A sump will lose more purely...
Some CO2 will disperse, but if you run a CO2 reactor rather than a diffuser then it will be more efficient. This is in comparison to a canister...
You can get quite a few plants to grow healthily without any CO2. A few that come to mind: Anubias Java Fern Bolbitis Heudelotii Cryptocorynes...
I'd probably go for a 20-30% change every 2nd day, that should slowly bring the parameters more in line with your tap water. Seeing as CT has soft...
Yup, definitely the driftwood causing the problems. Tannins have tannic acid, which can and will drop your pH and kH quite quickly. Up the water...
I wouldn't recommend a fluorescent light for someone who hasn't already got a light - fluorescent tubes lose power over time and will need to be...
Eventually came back at about 10:30 last night
We've been without power since 8am this morning. It was supposed to be planned maintenance from 8am till 4pm, but nothing yet. Trusty generator to...
Another one for the discus lovers: [MEDIA]
I think it's some kind of barb, going by body shape, but further than that i have no clue
Separate names with a comma.
