hmmm, may be my soil (>2years) not enough fert ? never use root fert, only dose liquid fert. thx for the info anyway. will monitor in this setup.

Got hit by cloudy water pass few weeks...
Tried many things... and finally water is clear after install uv light.
My APP started to bubbles.
Now left brown hair algae on driftwood and moss, hope Yamato, otto and goby will do their job.

UV light with diy PVC tube mounted on water outlet.
Turn on for 4-6hrs daily, lights off.

3rd day later...

The AAs are my collections*from 2011/2012 batches. Mostly are 2.5-3inches, *2 biggest ones are 3.5-4inches body size. Glad that their fins still good.*

Actually the plans grow relatively slow except the red tiger lotus... I've stop fert dosing for 2 weeks due to the bba outbreak recently... The blyxa dunno why all it's tip are cut/nipped off, may be due to lack of fert...
