Neglected planted tank - For 3 Months !!

I have not been keeping up with water changes, fertilization, co2 has been empty for 2 months... BUT plants are hanging in, this is a great thing about this hobby. You can get lazy without doing too much damage. We will retake video as soo as things look good. I am curious how long that will take. I suspect 3-4 weeks......

replace the fixture as a whole or just the lights

@Supa Tanks Water changes, new lights - mine are a year old. It should run its course.

[plantedtankfan]

High lighting, CO2 & Fertilization will = fast growth!!!

Good Luck.

I did the same thing lolz, Any tricks of getting rid of hair algae? ? ?

[ryandavies]

What happen to the other fish that you had in there when you started the tank? Did they die?

[conorturk]

what's going on with your low tech tank? I am in the process of doing the same thing as you, I really would like to see the outcome of both tanks.

@Dee From Brooklyn Hi dee. Check my videos. No co2 bc tank is empty. Thank you for watching !

@Alissa80 Low tech tank leaked. 75g into a raised floor! Wish I had a basement. Then I would have 5 or 6 tanks.

Also with high light comes algae :). Low Tech is much easier.

Monitor the ph closely if you plan on using CO2 plants use up the waters oxygen at night. take you time and do your homework first

Why would you do nothing for 3 months?
