We are not using CO2 in this tank, we used some in the past. However, because of CO2 variations we had an black algae outbreak and we used Hydrogen peroxide, ammano shrimps and Siamese algae eaters to get rid of it.
Lighting is always running at high intensity for 8 hours a day. This LED light has enough power for the type of plants we are keeping.
But some Red and Pink plants turns green because they need more light and more CO2 injections.

Our Fish and Shrimp Keeping Tutorials are based on our DIY experience with tropical fish, shrimp, and other freshwater or saltwater species kept in aquariums.
