how is superglue aquarium safe? It's high in VOC's - that isnt safe for fish! Why are you giving wrong information to people?
George Farmer
George Farmer - 7 years ago
+BettaFish 2017 Hi. I understand the tiny quantities used make it safe. There are several aquatic manufacturers that supply their own versions (cyanoacrylate based), and I'm sure they wouldn't be able to do so if they presented any risks to our livestock. It's also used extensively in human surgery. Thanks for your concern but I feel it's misguided.

Is it possible to maintain a nano aquascape without the soil?
Roger Nevez
Roger Nevez - 7 years ago
+Melissa Hoyle > "If you just don't like soil aesthetically [...]"
No, I'm just trying to set a low maintenance nano aquascape.
However, I'm having some trouble to make plants survive without soil and fertilizers.
Melissa Hoyle
Melissa Hoyle - 7 years ago
Roger Nevez I'd always recommend adding soil, but it all depends on the plants you plan on using. Some plants need nutrients from the soil to grow (you can sometimes get away by adding a liquid fertilizer instead) and others need it to plant and grow their roots. A few aquarium plants that don't require soil are Java moss, Java fern, and water wisteria. If you just don't like soil aesthetically but still want specific plants that require soil you can add an 3/4-1 inch of soil, then cover with another substrate such as fine gravel. Just make sure you place the roots under both the top substrate and soil.

Don't mean to be a bitch but I would rotate the mangrove hardscape further clockwise.so the leg on the right is almost horizontal. I realize there's no "right" answer, but c'mon, dude. That tank + light is supersexy. SuperGlue, really?

Hi George, I have sent you a pm on ukaps regarding your discus tank, any chance you can do a video for youtube and a journal for ukaps, I have read the PFK article which is good but the pics aren't great, looking forward to them both if you do, keep up the good work, cheers Mark

Hi ! First of all, i like your channel. Will you add fish in this tank ? Is there no danger to use super glue in a tank that will receive some fishes ? Sorry if you explain something about this in the video, and sorry if i do some mistakes. I'm french and don't speak english very well. Thanks

not all super glue is tank safe most will leach into water over time to 0.5ppm killing sensitive fish and shrimp, go with Gorilla super glue available in almost anywhere or any cyanoacrylate based glue.

May I know how many hours per day do you keep the lights on for such nano tanks ?
Karim Swift
Karim Swift - 8 years ago
also if you've just started the tank start with 5-6 hours then go up once the tank has matured. blasting light before the tank's bacteria has matured can lead to bad algal blooms. you can actually grow hc with moderate lighting, it doesn't need very high lighting. using a drop checker and fine tuning co2 based on plant and livestock response is a better measure than bps btw.
edit: checked your channel out, are you from malaysia? i'm from kL hahaha, small world
Karim Swift
Karim Swift - 8 years ago
gh and kh tend to be a bit more important for livestock than plants. a lot of plants can adapt to these, whereas stuff like shrimp need to be in the correct parameters. only a few more picky plants you have to be careful with those values.
i agree with evan, i frequent the plantedtank a lot and have learnt a lot from engaging in conversation. the ukaps forum is pretty good as well.
Evan Stepowany
Evan Stepowany - 8 years ago
I tend to like talking on plantedtank.net , and the planted tank subreddit (which i take with a grain of salt).

that being said here are the 'on paper' ideals ... but EVERYONE will deviate from it:

I really hesitate to give these because you can deviate a lot from these and still have success, but here's what the consensus would probably be.

GH 2-8 dGH
KH 3-6 dKH
pH 6.5-7.0
NO3 5-10ppm
K+ 20-30ppm
PO4 0.2-0.5ppm
Fe 0-2-0.7ppm

Since Traces can't be tested most are along with Fe rate.
CO2 15-30ppm
Niick Nicholas
Niick Nicholas - 8 years ago
Thanks Evan, is there any recommended hardness , buffering that you mentioned that I could maybe take note on for a planted tank ?
Having a shrimp tank has many informations on what ph, gh, kh etc.. but I couldn't seem to find any that is specifically for planted tank and I wonder if there is any
Evan Stepowany
Evan Stepowany - 8 years ago
You will need to figure out the balance of light/co2/ferts to prevent algae... you might need less light, more co2 or more ferts... each tank will actually vary according to water (hardness, buffering, ph), ambient light, plant load (and types of plants), amount of ferts dissolved, substrate and other items in the water. It might take a while to dial everything in
Niick Nicholas
Niick Nicholas - 8 years ago
Oh alright. I had one 75L / 2.5ft tank growing just HC with very high lighting and 2/3 bps co2 10hours of lighting but I am still getting slimy green algae and some hair algae =/
Ramona Osche
Ramona Osche - 8 years ago
It's allways 10 to 12 hours, no matter how much light you have or how big the tank is ;-)
