Hi Bro

Please comment my first planted tank the set up is as follow
Tank Size: 5ft x 2ft x 2ft
Filter: Overflow and underflow
Sump Tank 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft
Gravel: Lapis with Dophin Fert Sand
Fish Stock: 1 no. 16" VFSR, 4 nos. SAE
Lighting: 2 nos. 4ft PL (1 PL 55W total 4 PL 220W)
Temperature: Between 26 to 29 deg C
Water PH: 7.2 to 7.5

Will pumping too much Co2 cause algae to bloom?

Looks very colourful leh. Don't worry about too much CO2 causing algae. Normally its not enough that causes algae boom.

yr tank looks pretty newly setup. once it's matured, it shld look better.

noticed u hv quite a bit of stem plants....would regular trimming of the plts stress up the aro?

Hi Bro

I think my aro is quiet stable Cos me set up the planted with my Aro inside, the only problem is now I cannot bring down the PH level.

Injecting more CO2 will reduce the PH level. Need to be careful not to over inject which may be harmful to your aro. Maintain the KH ard 4-5 so that your PH swing will not be too great.

i royal pleco or a fei fong will grow well there and curb the algae prob ....

haha ... juz my 2cents

nice vf in planted!

as long as u have feeder fishes inside, they will munch up all the algae..

my planted was overwhelmed by blue green algae, tot have to restart, but after putting in feeder fishes, sparkling clean after 1 day..

happy planting!

That's a very big and nice tank. after all yr plants grow tall and bushy it will be a very impressive tank but will the plantation inside yr aro tank affect it from catching it's prey?? too many covers for those feeders

very nice n aro planted tank bro!
i allways wanted to do this....
but afraid of the ammonia levels..
