An aquarium was started on February, 11. Size: 60cm x 30cm x 36cm. Substrate: Power Sand M 4L, Aquasoil Amazonia 9l, Amazonia powder 3L. Lighting: 2 x 36 Watt NA Lamp Twin placed within 10cm from water surface.
Lights period:
- first two weeks - 8 hours,
- third week 9 hours,
- fourth week 10 hours.
Co2:
- in the first week one bubble per six seconds 24/7 through inlet of external filter
- from the second week one bubble per three seconds.
- Durig last three dates I use Dennerle glass diffuser, three bubbles per second during daytime with off on night.
Temperature:
- the first week was 23, with the second 25.
Water changes:
- First ten changes - four times per a week for 50%.
- Now every three days by 50%.
Ferts:
- Due to ADA recommendation first time I did not add ferts at all but was obliged to start three days ago, as nitrates fallen down to 0. (Im adding NPK+MICRO+FE)
More than month passed after the start of aquarium. Glossostigma replanted three times. it does not want to creep on soil by a dense carpet as a “fish scale”. Stretch upwards and stems and leaves become long. What do I do wrong, that Glossostigma not such, how in most Amano`s tanks?
