I set up a rio 125 tank about 2 and a half weeks ago and im wondering if im doing everything right
So my tank
Juwel Rio 125 standard juwel internal filter planted it with tropica substrate and capped with 3mm pea gravel added my wood rocks and plants
Plants
Vallisneria spirial
Saggitria subulata
Ludwigia repens
Amazon swords
Cabomba
Dwarf hygrophilia?
Now i set it up with a co2 system using a bazooka atomizor and a hydor 1600 wave maker to try blow it around the tank although im finding it hard to get it to flow round the whole tank I have 2 drop checkers on ethier side of the tank one is blue the other is yellow which I don't understand? Currently running it at 2 bubbles per second And the tank looks like a fizzy drink
My lights are standard 2 x 28w t5 hi lite day bulbs I added reflector ( explained lower) my lights are on a timer come on at 12pm go off at 9pm my co2 comes on at 10am and off at 8pm
Im ei dosing daily as the guide says at 30ml macro and micros on different days then rest day water change day
But the problem I have is my cabomba plant is not growing and iv had this plant in a no co2 no fert tank and had lt reach the surface in no time my dwarf hygro was growing well now suddenly stopped my amazon swords don't look like they have changed atall
Same for all of them the vallis is still melting I assume this is normal kinda brown on the tips
So i was thinking not enough light maybe? Added the reflectors a few days ago now im not sure if this was a good idea to do or not
Any suggestions on what I could do to see some growth or if im doing something wrong
Cheers guys
Ben
