How to grow Aquarium Moss

Nutrient-enriched water is suspected if the willow moss turns blackish, or
brown-colored rhizoids are growing.  One cause of these problems is worsened
water contamination due to the deterioration of water quality caused by
overfeeding or insufficient filtration capacity.  Besides this, a rise in water
temperature can also be one of the causes.All aquatic moss which prefers a clean stream.  Its appearance will thus be better if it is grown in
low-temperature water with low nutrient content.  Some measures to improve such
problems are to cut off all the blackened willow moss; change the aquarium water
more frequently to lower the nutrient content of the water, and absorb and get
rid of excessive nutrients by using Activated Carbon with its high absorption capacity as the filter media. Then, wait for new leaves
to develop.

THE GENERAL CARE FOR PLANTED AQUARIUM

Planted aquarium general maintenance
1) Changing approx. 25% of the water every week prevents the accumulation of hazardous substances in the aquarium and limits the algae growth.

2) Waste products in the form of dead plant matter etc. should be removed as soon as possible. Their breakdown uses oxygen and produces nutrients that destroys the balance and promotes algae growth.

3) Check the aquarium equipment regularly in order to make sure that any faults and defects will be rectified and that a stable environment will be maintained.

4) The plant growth is now in full swing and a liquid fertiliser has to be added. Start carefully and with a dose smaller than the recommended. Increase the dose gradually according to the plants' reaction to the fertiliser. A good rule of thumb is that leaves or plants become lighter/transparent when they lack fertiliser.

5) Check for algae on a regular basis. The first sign is unclear water, accumulations on the glass, leaves or decorative materials, or possibly fine threads. If the algae become visible, it will be much more difficult to suppress them! Algae are reduced by changing the water, reducing the amount of fertiliser, introducing more fast-growing plants and algae-eaters.

Time for Introducing fish in planted aquarium

In the case where a new aquarium was set up using brand-new filter media, fish should be added after three to four weeks when the environment within the tank is stabilized and aquatic plants grow almost up to the water's surface.
If an existing filter media already colonized with bacteria is used, it is possible to add fish to the aquarium when ammonia is no longer generated, i.e., about one week after the setup, as long as no algae is observed in the tank.

It is advised to add fish in about two phases, since the balanced self-purification process within the tank can be affected by adding a large
number of fish at the same time.  You might want to add fish as soon as possible once the planted aquarium is done, but it is, for the sake of fish,
better for you to wait until the environment is adequately stabilized (i.e., the condition in which water is clear and sparkling, no algal growth is
observed and aquatic plants grow lush and healthy).
Keep in mind that overpopulation of fish must be avoided to prevent growth of algae.  Adding a relatively small number of fish and feeding easily
digestible and absorbable food  are a key to
maintaining a beautiful planted aquarium.

HOW TO CONTROL COMBAT ALGAE IN PLANTED AQUARIUM

The control and removal of algae is certainly one of the serious issues we have
to deal with when taking care of planted aquariums.  There are many different
types of algae; each type has its own growth pattern and requires a special
attention using the most suitable method of removal.

-Green algae on glass surfaces

They are most commonly seen on the inside walls of aquarium tanks.  Green algae
develop during the initial installation period of an aquarium as well as on the
glass surface and white diffusion filter of Co2 diffusers in a mature aquarium.

Remove the algae growing on aquarium tank walls with a shaving blade, and then
change the aquarium water.  When you use a shaving blade near the substrate area of
the layout, be cautious not to let sand get in between the blade and the glass
surface.  Otherwise the sand scratches the glass surface and leave ugly scratch
marks as you move the blade.
You can remove green algae accumulated on the diffusion filter of a Co2 diffusers
with bleach,

- Beard algae on Anubias

Slow-growing aquatic plants are more vulnerable to the algae problem than the
fast growing kinds.  A group of plants in the Anubias family is a good example.
When diatom algae, which are often seen on Anubias' leaf surfaces during the
initial aquarium installation period, are not removed properly, green algae
may start spreading over the diatom algae.  In case a large amount of beard
algae grows around leaf margins of Anubias, apply dilute hydrogen peroxide solution
using a painting brush.
*Do NOT apply hydrogen peroxide to any other aquatic plants.

- Black beard algae on layout stones and driftwood

Black and tough beard-like algae growing on stones and driftwood can be seen
in the aquarium with a high nitrate level.  Please pay close attention and
take care of them before they become unmanageable.
After scraping off algae with hard tooth brush, release Siamese Flying Fox and
Caridina babuati in the aquarium.  If the condition is critical, remove
water from the aquarium, and cover the affected area of stones / driftwood
with a paper towel, soaked with several drops of hydrogen peroxide , overnight.
Then, fill the aquarium with water in a usual manner.

- Foul smelling blue-green algae covering over the undergrowth

They are considered as a type of Cyanobacteria, easily caused by excess
nutrients in the aquarium water.  They are also found in places, such as
densely-growing undergrowth of aquatic plants, where water flow hardly passes
through.  If you see them in your planted aquarium, you must act quickly as
they spread over so fast!
Suck out blue-green algae using a small hose, and sprinkle Beneficial bacteria over
the area.  Then release some Black Molly in the aquarium.

If you experience an outbreak of algae in your aquarium, you might be
over-feeding your fish.  Uneaten, left over fish food is an excellent food
source for algae growth because it causes excess nutrients in the water.
Watch fish carefully every time you feed them and adjust their servings.
Uneaten food should be removed from the aquarium after each feeding session
to minimize water contamination. 

Algae control using invertebrates
--

We  recommends the use of Caridina babuati (wood shrimp), Otocinclus and
Siamese Flying Fox for algae control.

WHY WE NEED TO AERATE PLANTED AQUARIUM DURING NIGHT TIME

As you know, aquatic plants perform photosynthesis using light and carbon
dioxide during the day while they respire at night by taking in oxygen and
releasing carbon dioxide. Particularly in a planted aquarium with a lot of stem
plants, the oxygen consumption by the plants during their respiration process
at night is high and this may cause lack of oxygen to the shrimps and fish.
In the case of an excessively low oxygen level, it can be observed that the
shrimps are inactive near the water surface. A lower dissolved oxygen level at
night also leads to an extremely low oxygen level within the filter, which
affects the beneficial bacteria in it. As a result, the balanced environment in
the tank will eventually be lost resulting in slightly cloudy water and
excessive algal growth. To avoid such a situation, it is advisable to perform
aeration during night for the planted aquarium.

How to grow red stem plants successfully in planted aquarium

Red stem plants are regarded as difficult to grow for the following reasons:
1. Red stem plants prefer mildly-acidic soft water.
2. Requires high light conditions and accordingly, sufficient CO2 injection.
3. Requires continuous iron supplementation to maintain the plant's leaf color.
When we make diy substrate sand  as the main substrate material,
it is difficult to prepare and maintain mildly-acidic soft water.
In addition to this, growing red stem plants was also a tough job because these plants are
demanding in terms of light, CO2 and nutrient conditions. Now, it is no longer
very difficult since the water quality issue can be resolved by the use of commercially available planted aquarium soil  like ADA AQUASOIL, PLATINUM SOIL, with which you can have mildly-acidic aquarium water just by placing
it on the substrate. Among red stem plants, Rotala Macranda is one of the most
difficult species. It is because the plant very often melts and wilts except
the terminal bud portion if the plant is sold in poor condition; and it is
therefore very hard for it to develop submersed leaves adapted to the aquarium
environment. Pogostemon stellatus and Gratiola sp. have vivid red tint when
grown under high light condition and supplemented with IRON or other types of
additives containing rich iron, but they lose their beautiful red color
significantly with low light or insufficient iron supplementation.  If you
wish to maintain the red color of stem plants, you need to add iron
supplements on a continual basis.

Beginner's guidance for better planted aquarium

Planted AQUA SOIL  has the great feature of promoting the growth of aquatic
plants because it contains rich organic nutrients.  These organic nutrients
serve as a source of nutrition for aquatic plants but at the same time, it can
contaminate the aquarium water if they are excessively present in the water.

During the initial stage of an aquarium when the filtration system is still
new and aquatic plants are just planted, the water easily gets dirty because
the amount of organic matter released from planted  Aqua Soil is more than the
amount being broken down by microorganisms and absorbed by aquatic plants.
Therefore, it is very important to change the aquarium water with the intent to
get rid of excess organic matter. Particularly in the first week after the
setup of the aquarium, it is advised to change 1/2 to 1/3 of the aquarium water
daily.  In the second week, it is preferable to change the aquarium water at
the frequency of once every two days.  If this pattern of water change cannot
be achieved, the aquarium water should be changed as close as possible to the
frequency of the pattern mentioned.

Water change during the first two to three weeks from the initial setup of
the aquarium is a key to a successful planted aquarium.  The efforts made
during this period will be rewarded in the form of healthily grown aquatic
plants.For planted aquarium materials  www.aquariumprofessionals.in

Making scape with aquarium plants gives you a perfect planted aquarium

Creating planted aquarium with good scape needs a lot of effort,
At first we need  to select what theme we need to create for example a valley, a river bed or a savanna theme or jungle bush.
After selecting the theme for planted aquarium,  we have to concentrate on the hardscape material which suites the theme, selection of hardscape is very important thing in planted aquarium.
After selection placing them in appropriate position to suit the golden ratio.
Now the basic ideology of the scape is ready and choose appropriate plants and plant them.
