:icon_frowSo I got a new camera and havent figured out how to use it properly yet so heres a peek at a project that i've been tossing together for about 3-4 weeks to test a photo......
I would order some and it should say on the package and come with a little measuring spoon. Then I would mix some up and shoot it right at it through a syringe, with the pump off for 15 minutes.
I didn't see any like that so I ordered Mardel Marcyn which is 200 mg of Erythromycin per pack, I also have found what looks like a good way to treat it so I'll let you know. There were other products but this was cheapest with 2 x 8 pack packages shipped for $15.97, not too bad but I'd still rather spend it on a couple cheesburgers.
i had a good cheesburger yesterday. a nice thick juicy one thats pink in the middle, cooked on the grill with italian dressing, and topped with meunster!
I tied the MP to it with thread and after a few months it got a bad case of algae so I tore off the MP and cut all the thread. It started growing back and here it is about 6 months later, attached without thread or glue. I just trimmed my first pieces off of it last night.
At least BBA is easier to manage I think there is a tiny piece of just about every algae in every tank ive got that runs good. The rest are still in algae battle mode.
They are pretty much like the pic. The tank has alot of wide open space filled with these and DHG 'Belem' so it gets a ton of light, ferts, and Co2. The only other plants in the tank are some Balansae 'red' along the back. Maybe its the combo of alot of micros and light? IDK?
Chad, not to distract from your beautiful journal, but the Crypt nurri 'Phang mutated' or what ever you sent me a while back is coming in green. Is this because of the low light or due the baby leaves do that?
The babies come out pretty green. The one I sent you was pretty small so I would give it a little time before moving it to brighter light. Its only been a few months and the "experts" dont recommend moving them less than every 6 months. I hope that you like yours because ive got a ton of runners coming off these so you'll be recieving more of them :hihi:
Yeah Jeff, these were in another tank about a year ago and were green with red veins. I think it was because it was Medium light and 0/minimal water column ferts. They look really cool like that too!
I'm not trying to start any trouble but I was looking for AS today and AFA had Rose and Mini Rose and their scientific names, not that is matters.
I think that Erythromycin killed something in my substrate, across the front of my tank several plants were growing poorly and they have now perked up quite a bit, plus there is a white substance in the top inch of the substrate that I can see through the glass, it must of killed off something that was making a dead spot.
You must be on vacation, it's been almost 10 days since your last reply.
I was on vacation. For about 5 days. Then I got home and decided to order a bunch of crap for my tanks. When it started coming in, I started rescaping a bunch of stuff. Now I have a gianormous mess Ill get some pics up tonight for sure. Sometimes you gotta let it slip to make sure your friends still like you right? :hihi: Tim, I ordered 8 squares of mini rose and its here. Ill get you a pic tonight that will leave you scratching your head in disbelief
Haha, well, pics are going to be later tonight. I messed with setting up the Moss Boss thread and now ive got some maintenance to do(drinking) so pics will be later And ive got some tank work to do.
If I did that my journal would be back to page 50 plus, I do like keeping a journal and photo record, plus I use fish software to keep track of every plant, fish, fert, bulb, changes, etc. yeah I'm a little anal retentive, just a little.
I got rid of the Cyano & 5 Rummy's, now today I was chucking stems covered in BBA and spot dosing Excel like crazy.
It's 12:40 EST what time are these pics coming, is that snoring I hear?
Man, you are bound to find balance somewhere. I feel for you. Ive had some tanks that were just terrible for one thing after another. I got some pics coming of a terribly overgrown tank, gimme a minute or 30
