By the way just one more quick thought on this that i forgot to mention which might have an impact. As i mention in my OP i am dosing EI with the micros being flourish. Since I believe this contains Magnesium Sulphate i kind of put 2 and 2 together and left out the Magnesium Sulphate out of my...

Ceg: Yes it is 4dkH and yes the DC tends to run a this colour (or slightly more lime) from lights on to lights off. The white blob you are refering to is either a suction pad for the DC, a rock or a fish. The CO2 is diffused by an up atomiser into the outflow of the filter so is on the other...

Ah and there was me thinking all this time that I was going rediculously overkill on the lighting. Thanks for the clarification. So with that in mind, presuming we are actually talking comparatively low lighting levels, should i actually be droping my lighting height? Or, taking into account a...
