Ep19. I watched how plants grow without Co2

Day 113

I just fed the fish and spilled a lot of food in the tank
There is not really that much fish food, so I will not remove the excess food from the aquarium
I prefer not to feed the fish for a day or two
I do not use a filter in this aquarium.
Here is a water pump
Another proof that I give a lot of food to the fish
There are more and more snails
Planted aquarium NO filter, NO CO2

algae on plants is not pleasant to deal with. I have a tank, maybe 2 like that right now. The same plant in other tanks grows completely algae free? All I see is when plants thrive, the algae is not a problem. When the plants do not thrive, algae seems to be a problem. My only conclusion is the problem is the plant, not the algae. The environment favours the algae. Bad plants = algae. Fortunately I rarely see it but I have some of it right now. Removing the algae is pointless - it will grow back.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always helpful to hear from fellow hobbyists who have dealt with similar challenges. Together, we can find solutions and create healthier environments for our aquatic plants.

@@walstadmethodstepbystep sorry for being a bit negative. Been struggling with algae as well this month. I shouldn’t be, I thought I had things sorted :). Even with healthy plants it can be impossible to understand and avoid. Algae I think is the main reason people leave this hobby, and fish deaths. I am becoming very adept at removing filamentatious algae with a kebab skewer. I thought it was ADA Amazonia original mix which was the problem, but I get it elsewhere so I can’t blame ADA. Oh well… the important thing is don’t quit amigo.
