hello,
i am setting up a 75 gallon tank using plants from a 36 gallon bowfront. it has been set up for a bout a week with no plants just eco complete substrate and a piece of wood i got from my lfs.
today , i moved all my anubias onto the driftwood. and moved some rocks, bolbitus and a piece of wood from the old tank to the new tank.
question one
i have a question about the anubias in the wood piece. some of the anubias leaves have black algae on them. I have trimmed most of them off but some of them still have a bit on them. should i trim the rest of the "not pretty leaves" off? dip them in hydrogen peroxide? dip in excel? or all the above ?
question two
also some of the anubias is now going to be much closer to the light than before. before being on the bottom of the tank. now being about 6-10 inches above the substrate. is that going to be an issue for the anubias?
for now i have just shoved the anubias into the wood. I can reposition them anywhere i need to.
i have an aquatic life edge led says it is 72 watts. set for a split photo period of 10-1 then 4-9.
no, co2
no fish, just snails and plants. i have more bolbitus, trident java fern, and narrow leaf java fern still in the old tank. I bought cabomba and dwarf water lettuce and added them to the tank.
plan is to add tetras, ottos, shrimps and corey cats. maybe a bristlenose pleco
