I've got a skimmer in place and running at 22 degrees now so will see if that helps. Gonna re run my ph drop check as I'd imagine I can turn the co2 up!
What’s is the skim and where have you placed it?

Ehiem skim 350, it's not in the best place at the moment, I have it opposite the filter outflow but slightly further down the tank depth wise so it's not fighting it. I can't move it to next to the outflow yet as the lead isn't long enough, so will have to work something out tomorrow.What’s is the skim and where have you placed it?

Then it's fighting against the outlet/inlet and the co2 isn't dispersed as well? Unless that doesn't really matter?Ps. Just seen your picture.
If you can move it to left hand back corner pointing towards the inlet. Much less stem damage!
But yes, long term glass ware will be better!
Oh, I realise what you mean now, yes good idea.Should still be good.
Whatever, you should be aiming for circular flow.
Leaving the skim there will kill your stems with that much direct flow blasting at them.
Just trim is back completely leaving just half a cm and let it grow back!The carpet is annoying me, I think it's dying as it's uprooting every second. Anyone think it's worth holding on or just get rid of it?

This is with a TDS meter I forgot to mentionSo question - I've just checked and my water in the tank is at 496ppm. Does this maybe explain issues of growing some of the plants? Is there a way to remedy this, or do I need to just get RO water?
I've heard 120ppm is the best.
Thanks Anthony. It's gone down hill since my last photo but I appreciate the comment!Just found this journal and just want to say you have a very beautiful tank. I've not long started my first 120l tank and hope it turns out just as nice as this.
Very well done to you

Thank you. I was adding around 5ml a day of the TNC complete, however I have been on the tropical fertiliser for now. The TNC complete worked well for me though! I'm no expert however!Oh that is a shame and I'm sorry to hear that.
I've only had my tank for a little over two months and have loved it and hated it.
I hope you manage to turn things around and get to see some updates soon.
May I please ask you a question.
You was dosing TNC complete daily and injecting Co2 but at what amount was you adding. I have a 120l tank and also use TNC complete but I'm not sure how much I should be adding daily.
