Re: green sump
Let it grow a little more, you can cut it off after 3-4 new leaves comes out

Re: green sump
small tank update
did some changes, this tank had some thread algae issue when plants where not growing at the end of summer weekly 2 time water change n reduce light helped ,now algae is under control, but during summer i was able to maintain temp 26C but during these days(high humidy) it difficult to maintain temp now tank temp is around 28-29C most of the time.
diy co2 working nice

Most of your plants will grow in 28-29 degree Celsius. You are proud owner of one of the best sump.

Don't reduce the dosing. In high temperature metabolism of plants increases and they need more ferts and carbon for proper growth.sub wrote:most of plants are hardy,only growth reduces ,so i need not to trim it weekly and also reduced fert dosing.

Re: green sump-uptade @pg6
plz identify this deficiency /disease , this start from one leaf and separates to other leaf which is near contact of affected one,after doing some study i found it is due to co2 deficiency, i seen it before also but it gone when i trimmed affected leaves , now it comes back and i have trimmed 4 leaves .
my fern is growing at very fast rate, anyone faced this issue?
i m running diy co2 so cant increase co2, no glut /excel ,light -28wx3 t5, tank is around 25 gallon.i m thinking of reducing light to 28wx2 to reduce co2 demand. friends whats your opinions on this issue..
fert doses
no3-15ppm weekly
po4-2ppm weekly
k-30ppm weekly
fe(csm-b) -0.3 weekly

Re: green sump-uptade @pg6
for last 20 days i am running my green sump as a low tech setup no co2 and fert, reduce light to 1wpg, removed all stem plant to make this tank very low maintenance,
now weekly removing 20% of water and adding my main tank water so that sump tank's fishes and plant can adjust to main tank water ,from next week i will pass main tank water from this section .
all plants are doing good and i think will be fine in low tech setup
current plant list
java fern
java fern trident
anubias
java moss
tenellus
Amazon sword
TRIPARTITA

2nd tube was on during photo
future plan is to make this tank a java fern jungle with tenellus carpet
welcome for any suggestions ...
