水草情迷

養草已半年，當玩落才知要好多學問，請師兄們解答。


兩星期前，從新 Setup 一個新30吋缸，底床跟人落 Blaster100 + Power Sand Special. 泥就用ADA1代黑泥。CO2 開一秒兩泡，頭一個半星期，水勁濁，換左幾次大量水，終於前日清返．．．唔知係咪要等菌養定先水清，大前日仲好濁，前日突然清左好多 (但都係濁，但比較大前日真係清好多)，所以琴日我立即換多次水．．．跟住宜家清好多了。

我的問題是:
1. 水草養了到新缸都有十日多，它有發芽出新葉，但為何一粒泡泡都冇？為何紅宫延新出的變做綠色？
2. 會不會跟我上述水濁有關？所以草冇泡?
3. 見D燈魚同神仙魚成日上水面口合合（神仙魚特別多），是否因為水草冇出泡，因此水含氧量好少，所以魚要上水吸氧氣？
4. 琴日死左8條藍眼燈魚(即全部藍眼), 但十六條綠燈魚一D都冇事 (我估是不同品種有不同的受氧程度)...我是否要加氣泵嗎？但有D人同我講，養草是不需要氣泵的，因為水草會放出氧氣，加氣泵可能會太多氧氣引至生青台...我應該點做好？ > <
5. 我是冇水冷的，水溫之前Keep住係29-30度，琴日我先買左把風扇‧‧‧‧溫度減到26-27度了 (其實天氣也涼左），水草冇出泡會否跟之前水溫太熱有關？但琴日今日水溫26-27度了，都是冇泡泡...Why...?

My Setting:
1. 30, 14, 12 fish tank
2. ADA NA Lamp FL30S 管 (30W) x 3
3. CO2 開一秒兩泡
4. 燈 (6 - 8 hours)
5. 魚 (around 25 燈魚 + 2 神仙魚 + 2 小精靈 + 1飛狐)

Many Thanks

My view is:
1. Two weeks is still at the very early stage that the plants may still be in the adaptation process.
2. There are some other reasons that you don't see any bubbles: e.g. too strong water flow, high temperature, etc.
3. The supply of CO2 level is not enough for your tank. I'd say you should have at least 4 bubbles per second.
4. What kind of filtration system do you have?
5. Since your tank is newly set up, 8 hours a day seems too strong that may lead to algae burst. You'd better start with 4 and increase 1 hour every week until 8.
6. Few plants can survive at above 28c. I think that's the reason why there's no bubble. In fact, some of your plants may die already.
7. At the early stage of startup, you'd better change 30%-50% water everyday until the water becomes clear.
8. Don't add any more fishes into the tank.
9. Never add air pump for planted tanks.
10. Can you post a photo of your tank here?

Thanks Fish Fan 師兄意見，filtration system 係 濾水桶 511，等我換多水同大D CO2先....以下是我用手機拍的...

Eden511 is not strong enough for a 30" length of tank. Also, if the water is flowing upwards, there's a chance that it will stir up the air and affect adversely the CO2 dissolving rate.

Thanks Fish Fan again... I see, so would you tell me what is the suggested water flow please? Thank !!

For your tank, I'd use 2217x2 or 2250x1.
