Aquarium and aquarium in my passion for plants, fish and aquatic world
Another request for help and advice ... on Acquariando other answer, which also attracted comments from readers are welcome (but now with the experience of the previous blog on Blogger I already know that while many readers are "commentators" pochissssssimi!)
I started from Saturday to set up my tank 180 lt. net approx.
I put in the middle of a beautiful redice mangrove.
I put the bottom of the gravel (the dealer told me not to wash it) it took me a bit 'of water and inserted the small plants (anubias) in all 4.
I finished filling the tank (130 liters at rest and reverse osmosis tap) and I started the filter outside of the resins Askoll who advised me the same shop where I took the tutto.Ci I put the bacteria (and continue to put them) and fertilizer for plants.
Before the water was filthy then as the days passed it became more clear.
Unfortunately, however, on the surface of the tank has remained a thin layer of dirt, which makes the water slightly cloudy.
How can I delete it?
Another thing, the root of mangroves has been covered with a whitish coat ... is this normal?
Today I saw a scrutinizing the aquarium snail, bad sign?
Thank you in advance for the answers and continues with this blog!
Did not you say something important ... this is the first aquarium you put up with that? Before buying bath accessories and plants ... you bought a hybrid or two on the aquarium and fish ? I just hope you ... even if the first question would be better to be NO, so you would not have a first aquarium of 180 liters to manage ...
Anyway ... what was the gravel? Brand? Simple gravel or was fertilized? Because if it was simple gravel was rinsed well ... well, why not clean off the dust cloud water you now?? Try to remove it with an absorbent cloth or vacuuming with a hose.
Then the water that you bring it removed "new" to bring things level. You have used all tap water or only a part or the entire reverse osmosis water directly? What values did your tap water?
Bacteria put them under the guidance of the bottle, put too many useless, however, the filter of an aquarium must take its course. Clearly not put any fish before another 15 days. 15 DAYS. 2 weeks ... no less, I recommend it.
The liquid fertilizer is useless now, you do not have plants that need it, the 4 anubias in 180 liters are few and are very slow to grow, then "consume" a little. Instead add the pure fast-growing plants, free standing, you can prune often eliminating nitrates from the aquarium.
The root of comperta patina is normal, even that disappears with time, while the snails should not be a problem, some species are good tenants in the aquarium. Depends on what you have ... what you brought from the store where you've stocked ... only time will tell.
And finally ... thanks for the compliments! ))

Out of the names!
Hello, I answer with regard to your question:
1) Yes it is the first aquarium;
2) I read some books, consulted various shops (only aquarium, with all due respect ... no nurseries for nurseries), viewed many sites, forums and of course blog
3) Here are the names:
-Fund: Elos Mineral Bottom
-Gravel: Quartz African Zolux
In filter Askoll besides the razor and charcoal, I put on instructions from the dealer:
-JBL BioNitratEX
-JBL PhosExUltra
4) Bacteria and fertilizer
-JBL Denitrol
-JBL Ferropol
5) The water was 80% and 20% osmosis tap. From me the water is pretty duretta.
I await further advice. I would like to plant fast-growing but without troppissime claims.
ps the snails are now 2/3
