Got some new plants in the beta tank! Was wondering about a couple more plants, would that be too cluttered!? Maybe add a couple white river rocks! Have a snail to help with maintenance. What ya think!? I am starting to see a little algae, would taking an hour off my timer help with that!? Thanks!

What light fixture are you using, and how long are you running the lights now?

No CO2 on this tank, correct?

I have a Finnex Planted Plius. Running 8 1/2 hours a day on a timer. Nope, no CO2! Try to stay out of that realm.

Noticing a little brown stemming, but have flourish tabs. So think they have enough nutrients!

The Planted + is probably a bit overkill without Co2. Reducing the time will help some, as will adding more plants to absorb nutrients. You might consider dosing Excel daily as well.

I was told that Planted Plus would put me in the medium - high range! Had LED's before by Deep Blue that was the opposite, so wanted a step up! I guess I can reduce the time. I just yanked anachrias plant that was rotting. Think that contributed.

Yeah, cutting back on the amount of light would be a big help. I have the same size tank (guessing 2.5) with the same light. Before I added floaters I was having a heck of a time managing algae.

It's a ten gallon tank! I have amazon swords, which I'm worried about growing. In fact I just posted about that haha.
