Jarek's Underwater Life

In December the Seachem Flourish Excel finished and I didn’t observe any effect after its application.

Visit of Aquarium of Barcelona.

Changes in the aquarium to create rocks. Filter's output current redirection. Surprising NO₃ values. Problem with an angelfish. Discovery of a quiet fans for the LED cooling.

The LED light worked on the aquarium for two years. The light intensity weakened and the epoxy coating turned yellow. I decided to change the LEDs. For the new light I used the white LEDs with CRI 98 and RGB LEDs which I placed inside the profiles with diffusers.

The NO₃ level is low. I bought new fish: Angelfishes, Serpae tetras, Siamese algae eaters, Bronze corydoras, Ram cichlids. And new plants: Cryptocoryne sp. red mi oya and Eleocharis parvulus.

The AquaSky unit development meant for me learning a lot of new stuff. I started this journey roughly a year ago. Now it is time to share my experience of the first prototype's test.

Thanks to the new light the plants grow fast. In May, I started observing deformation of some plants’ leaves. NO₃ was low. Comparison of the Seachem and Easy Life fertilizers.

I bought Ram cichlids el. blue, Siamese algae eaters, Bronze corydoras and Serpae tetras. The plants grow very fast and some of them bloomed.

In September, I increased the fertilizers’ dosage. The fertilizers’ application started to be more difficult. I decided to buy a fertilizer dosing unit.
