How did you confirm that they were actually dead?

Theres a minor chance they just clamped up and went into hiding because they got irritated by the dry ferts.

Be careful about reusing old ADA soil because the color might have changed compared to the new soil you get. I'm not sure what soil you are using but I'll assume Amazonia. Old, used, then dried...

Are you sure your canister is not running low or is near empty? I've had this happen when I'm almost out of CO2.

Lol, I hope you realize you're taking a huge risk by adding those blues in. I've tried a couple experiments with mixing shrimp like that and they just turn out super janky and low quality. BUT...

That's pretty genius :lol

I second the blyxa! It's a great midground plant and easy to sell/trade once it gets overgrown as well.

I use the stainless steel algae scrapers sold on amazon . Just search Stainless Steel Algae Scraper and it comes up. Its basically an imitation of the ADA line of scrapers. I like these scrapers...

Once I'm done building the stand for my 60P and my 30C's, I'll put up a thread on my 120P show tank. It's about ~3 months old now give or take.

The 60P is going to be a plant growout/warehouse...

Im in agreement with Zenzu. pH drop check is definitely the way to start. Then just fine tune your CO2 based on how your plants and fauna do.

You'll want to make a decision on priorities though....

Did you ever get this to work?

I've built and rebuilt these like 20 times now. Same type of heat sinks from MakersLED, drivers from rapidLED and other vendors, LEDs off Ebay, etc.

Holy, do they really use sterile procedures to make the tissue culture plant cups?

I use the ikea glass pump bottles. Each pump is approx 1 mL, so I mix my solutions accordingly. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181026/5cd3223bfa8000f7c1ac98b5de82da98.jpg

That nut and nipple look right to me! (No pun intended.)

Just make sure to get some teflon tape and an o-ring so you can ensure a good seal. 5# will run out fast if you have a leak anywhere.

How deep is your tank? That light will probably only work for ~4 inch of water depth.

Are you trying to affix the moss so it grows as a ledge or as a wall? (I assume the former). If you search Amazon for "aquarium ledge auction cup" there a lot of options (though they are a bit too...

I've only grown S repens a couple times before, but I am now actively farming it submersed for sale on forums (to help pay for my hobby =D ).

For me, S repens is a bit of a drama queen because of...

If you grow moss, they'll have plenty to forage on and grow up =)

I've been breeding red cherries on and off for years now and it's really weird how orange they are! Do they at least have red speckles/spots?

I'm on the same page as varanidguy. I used to buy liquid ferts but things got way too expensive once I converted all my tanks to high tech. Nilocg is a great place to buy dry ferts for mixing...

If you're concerned about flow, you can buy outflow that are designed to disperse flow or you can install a ball valve and limit the flow that way.

For outflows, I like using the glass pipes sold...
