Nice. I like the looks of the long tanks. What are you thinking of stocking it with?

i have some anubias petite melting issue, but its just 2 plant beside each other. the rest are doing fine. maybe its from too much light? change of hardness? too close to c02 diffuser so ph is slightly unstable? any experience from this guys?

and i think my hc has some c02 deficiency issues coz its not growing like how its supposed to? i heard plants will pearl but it doesnt mean they have all their nutrient requirements? its coz of lighting?

I haven't see much in my own tanks to warrant that plants may do poorly if too close to a co2 diffuser. Have you had a check of your water parameters recently? What's your water hardness? New tanks also tend to have a harder time with growing plants initially.

i do a weekly test or whenever i notice any change in my livestocks behavior. 2 weeks ago i kicked up my hardness to 60 over 5 days from 20. but i had some fish that died and i think thats when i noticed the anubias started to melt. but also i used excel those past week. i stopped now. maybe its the excel too? ph is stable, 6.8-7. i stopped messing wit hardness, i dont add any gh booster when i do water changes. so its pretty much what our local tap water parameters.
