Quote from: fischkopp on April 06, 2013, 09:25:04 AMI might have missed it, but what sorta light are you running, as of number of bulbs, intensity, spectrum and duration?

I have 8 x 80W T5 6400K bulbs. Currently running 6 of them for about 14 hours a day.

Just to update, seems like my algae problem have been solved. The tank is still doing well and no significant algae problems. Time to prune some plants after 2 weeks of doing absolutely nothing to the tank (not even cleaning the front glass) :)

I think the combination of regular fertilizer dozing (with a dosing pump) and also using Flourish Excel did the trick...

Yes, thanks for them. They do add some contrast to my fish :)

That's true. It is spreading. I have never been successful with keeping glosso before. Now the luck seems to have changed :)

Thanks.
