Hello. I am getting really fed up with my tank. Here are the details.
55(ish) gallon bow front.
Eheim 2217.
Spray bar along the back running the whole length.
Diy Co2 fed into the filter intake.
2x39w t8 (I tried t5s but the problem is worse)
16 harlequin rasbora
1 SAE
2 german blue ram
Problem: pale growth, big dark veins, stunting, wrinkles and curling.
I am dosing pre mixed e.i and had initially thought that it was a co2 problem so I lowered the light and did my best to maximise flow and co2 absorption. I cant afford pressurised and the thought of a pressurIsed canister under the tank freaks me out because of my kids. I used to be a welder so you think it wouldn't bother me but it does!.
But now I can see problems with the mini water lettuce and as they are not limited by co2 that must mean it's something else right?
Could they be sucking up all the goodies and leaving none for the rest of the plants as they are spreading really fast?
