A few months ago I joined TPT after discovering Geniusdudekiran's tank, The Treeless Mountain V2. I got an ADA tank, an Archaea light, and some Aquasoil Amazonia. I decided that I wanted a treeless mountain too. Here I stand, with my tank The Treeless Mountain V3. View attachment 98978
ADA Mini M high clarity
Formerly Archaea Slim Pro 30 cm, now unnamed fluorescent lights.
3L bag Aquasoil Amazonia
Eheim 2211 with DIY acrylic lily pipes
Do! Aqua co2 kit, vanquished to be replaced with GLA paintball co2 regulator
HC, DHG, soon blyxa
Yeah. Just started selling plants. It's a good business when the most you'll ever make without it is $100 a month.
Sadly, my old lily pipe cracked somehow, but I will make a new one tomorrow. I'm using a pretty bad one now.
The first one will be normal, and if I have a little extra tubing I will practice the dark art of creativity. That's right! I'm making a lily pipe spin! :bounce:
I have a hairlike, straight algae that goes with the flow of the water. It sometimes grows a few inches in a few hours. It grows on the glass, the rocks and everything else. I do need co2.
I am starting to hate my tank. The slope is collapsing, I have bad algae, my DSM pretty much failed,y shrimp are dying, my plants won't stay down, and I have surface film.
increase your CO2 as well. and make sure you have strong flow to get it throughout the entire tank.
manually remove as much of the algae as possible to speed things up.
Update! New light, but I'm having Spirogyra and BGA problems. I'm beating back the spirogyra, but the BGA is hard. I'm thinking of picking up some Bacter 100 for that. Apologies for the floating masses.

Looks great. Nuke the BGA for sure. I have successfully gotten rid of it without nuking it but it is more time and effort than it's worth. I have yet to try Bacter 100, though I want to, I just pick up some Erythromycin usually. People say deal with the root issue but in my experience, it is rare it comes back, even if nothing else changes.
Sorry, not now. A huge BGA mess, I'll try that solution you tried, or maybe do a trash bag blackout. I've got 3 other tanks I'm working on right now, so kinda preoccupied. :hihi:
I'm counting the days until AFA gets their shipment in...
I've got a small SWAT team of jumping spiders guarding them ATM. In a month or two Ill bomb you guys with an MTS explosion. Seriously. Multi-tank bomb. As in SPLASH SHRIMP STONES WOOD PLANTS.
Ok pics please. I'm starting to think you're getting snowed in a bit.
