WOW!! what an eyecatcher!

How do you grow those naturally looking "algae" on your rocks? What are they anyway?
Also, I've been wondering do you you prevent the substrate going anaerobic since it's so thick, if it does that at all?

Hello,


How do i grow the algae, well she doesn't grows only on the rocks it grows in the plants also but i think its normal the rocks gain this coloration, i think with time this green is going to disappear a little. Has you said, it's algae i have them because of micronutrients and N P fertelization, but its controled, i hope

Well, about the question of the substracte, i presume anaerobic means little O2? am i correct? i never thought about that, but the plants seems healthy, and also the fish and the rest of the tank, so i think the thickness is not a problem ( for now?)

Thank you for you comment, and sorry my lazy english, i just get out of the bed.
Regards

RR

I think you should put a back-lit white background to give it a never ending kind of look, like in the picture you posted. just an idea

Thank you for your comment

Great little nanotank! I agree with kakkoii - a white background or maybe transperant blue would be much better.
