So I upgraded to fluval 3.0 light and added co2. Since then its been a disaster. 240 litre
Initially had light on standard setting for weeks but algea was a massive issue. Slowly turned up co2 and reduced lighting but a month on and still having issues. Drop checker is lime green.
Light is on for 5 hours at 15% co2 comes 1.5 hours before light. Using flourish and tropica specialised. Was using 3 pumps, last month only 1 pump and flourish 1.5 caps a week. Even new plants are looking crap within a day and just go downhill.
Feeling light I just wanna get rid of my co2 and light and carry on as before.
What am I doing so wrong?
