I'm surprised this thread keeps getting revived! the hc has been growing quite well and is spreading alot . . . algae is also spreading so I'm gradually adjusting things until it stops. The tank isn't looking its best right now and I'll do an update next week or so.

Major string algae bloom and cladophora is also there. I took some tweezers and went to work manually removing a ton. I didn't replace the DIY co2 in almost 3 months and with 36 watts over a 10 gallon, I can't say I don't understand why. Now I get about 1bp2s after a change and will try to change it twice a month to keep algae at bay. The hc growth has stopped pretty much since my last post and is about 1/2 way done covering the tank.

Algae is finally going away and 1 of my shrimp are berried! There were 3 left and I assume that the warmer temps are helping. The wallichi wasn't doing so hot so I pulled it and changed it with l. repens. The HC is hanging in there as well. I'm going to try to stay consistent with co2 and see if I can get everything to bounce back.
