Thanks for info. My tanks have thrived in the past , now a lot of yellowing with new anubias. Anubias always did best. May need to increased t Nitrogen and potassium. Have more plants
I've noticed similar things happening when my moss and floaters start to get out of hand, the other plants suffer due to lack of available nutrients. Finding the balance can be hard but it's important for overall plant health.
Hi, that's a very good video. How can I actually encourage the growth of algae in my shrimp tank? I have 2 tanks with active substrate but there is not algae on the glass. I dose Thrive S at half the recommended dose and do 10 water change with RO and remineralizer for caridina. Lights are on 10 hours a day. Feeding and stock is light.
Do a full fert dose instead of half, or half dose more often. Maybe up to 12 hours of light a day. I have an extra light I rotate onto tanks that seem to be lacking in biofilm / algae as well.
Great information ☺️ .I'm having a problem with fuzz algae. My tank does test no nitrates no nitrites . I add my liquid fertilizer once a week after water change.. I use fluval grow Plus with iron and for root tabs I use seachem flourish tabs. Just redid the tabs as I was behind schedule in replacing them . In your opinion in your, should I dose more nitrogen?
more nitrogen is going to make the algae even worse most likely. You can try spot treating with h2o2 to kill the algae, it usually works. I have a video coming out on Saturday about that!
Seeet intro. Tell me more about those sweet industrial shelves . Does it come with ...let’s say , light saber sounds? I want the noise to summon when things are picked up and put down on the shelf .

I took my submerged Rotala and put it in my new tank which has a great source of full spectrum light and CO2 injection. However, the Rotala leaves did not transform from round to bush as expected although it has been 2 weeks. Is it a symptom of nutrients deficiency?
@@BobMossNanoTanks Thank you, I'll give it some more time as well as some tabs as suggested. Actually it has transformed only 30% of the leaves (mostly the top & young ones) after 2 weeks. Let's see how it goes...
Awesome video, too bad I will never know the real cause of why my floating plants are yellowing(mostly amazon frogbit looks like doodoo) and some new growth on the cuculata floater bin is pale green. This feels like Saving Private Ryan...but for my floaters! 😎 I am left with 2 options, the low tech thrive which you mentioned, or feed my legion of ramshorn more generously 🤣 What do you think man? I mean you are master snail breeder as well, you must have considered such options before 🤪
This might be odd but are the tops of the plants getting wet? While they are aquatic plants, floaters in particular do not like being very wet. I have lost a couple types of floaters over the years because my snails kept pulling the healthy parts underwater and causing it to die.
well i do have snails doing all the gardening now and hopefully it will improve. I see red outline on the new leaves of the frogbit and also their underside is bright red. Couldnt find definitive evidence, but seems like I have them under extremely high light which is possible. They are 6 inches away from those 4ft long LED full spectrum plant grow lights. I ll move them this weekend and tone it down. I was doing some rummaging and even found some hella outgrown piece of rotala bonsai under there with deep red colouration. I didnt even know i put it there. Thanks though, I did get the "thrive" and hopefully plants will pick up soon in my main aquarium. Did you notice any difference between the low tech and the shrimp one you tried? 😅@@BobMossNanoTanks
Not related to plants but hence you reply to comments, how can we stop calcium growth on the glass of our tank? I have been struggling on this for ages and really have never come up with a permanent solution, hope you will reply, thanks
Hmm, that's a bit of an odd problem. I would start by asking, how hard is your water? If you can, trying lowering the TDS with an RO unit or by diluting with some distilled water. That will just bring the hardness down in general. Now, if that's not possible, the only way to prevent it, IMO, is to limit evaporation. So get a tight fitting lid. If it's really annoying you, you can actually use white vinegar with livestock in the tank to clean off the residue. I would look up a quick guide on the exact method but basically you use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and some tank water, get a scrub brush of some kind and soak it in the solution and then scrub away the calcium. The vinegar CAN lower the pH a little but it tends to evaporate before anything bad happens. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@BobMossNanoTanks thanks for your response, totally appreciate your effort, ill try this this weekend and give you an update on it, ive personally never used viniger to clean it but i did use lemon, i cant wait for this result, just hope everything goes well, and a quick question, do i need to lower the ph or increase it?
@@maisaanmufeed438 Not a problem, my pleasure! The pH is whatever, you want it to be in the target area for the fish / shrimp you're keeping. You want to target the TDS, slowly lower that and you will have less calcium buildup. What livestock are you keeping?
@@BobMossNanoTanks 2 female betta's "dont worry they do not fight" and 2 orange mollys added for tank mates, yes ill try my best to follow your instructions
@@BobMossNanoTanks my plants have been dying too, they all have calcium on their leaves, i really dont know what to do, should i buy new plants or smthn, i keep mine in a 2 foot 1 foot tank, i do not have a filter as i couldnt get one around here easier but i do have an oxygen pump installed, i was busy with alot of things last 2 weeks so i forgot to turn the light on, after 2 weeks i got some oxygen and turned the light on to see all my plants covered in calcium, i washed them off but little after i put thrm inside my tank, the would show up again
I honestly haven't had much motivation to edit what I have filmed. I've been trying to finish my next video for weeks now but I get distracted and never finish it. I'm hoping I get out of this funk soon
@@BobMossNanoTanks I was just saying what you said to say in the end and bloopers part of video. I do have a real question. I think my plants are lacking nitrogen and phosphate. 55 gal fluval substrate moderate plants. 2 dwarf guppies and a little algae eater. It’s more of. Zen garden with a few fish. I was thinking add azolla to introduce more nitrogen and increase the feeding for phosphates. Commenting for the algorithm.
@@trogdordog04smith95 Appreciate the comments! Wouldn't the azolla suck up more of the nutrients? Creating more deficiencies? I would try low dosing some all-in-one ferts like Easy Green or Thrive and see if that helps.
@@BobMossNanoTanks I was trying to everything without chemicals if possible. If I was going the fertilizer route I was thinking one focused on macro nutrients. But yes the azolla will also draw nutrients but it puts back nitrogen. Like when Indians planted corn next to beans . One sucked out one nutrient while the other puts it back.
Sorry, but I think you misunderstood that section entirely. If your city water uses ammonium instead of just chlorine, then by dosing Prime you seperate the ammonium into its component parts, which are ammonia and chlorine. Adding this water to your tank will then add ammonia (nitrogen).

It's popular to base the deficiencies mostly on terrestrial plants so a video with examples from actual aquarium plants is quite helpful
