Hi guys,
I have a 75l 30" aquarium with amazon swords, 6 mini amazons, hair grass, ludwigia, wendtti, java fern, tall hydro plants. I'd say about 50% of my substrate is now covered. Beginning to have slight problem with BGA on the leaves of Wendti and Ludwigia.
Lights are one 18w daylite with reflector on for 12 hours. I add 1ml of TNT+ every other day. Prune every other week, water change every 2 weeks. No co2 as only have ladder system, and not convinced it's necessary.
Substrate sand with tetra soil under.
Stats:
gh more than 16 eg. off my scale!
kh 15
ph 7.6
amonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 20
21 small fish at moment in there. Tetras, corys and Ottos.
Internal filter with flow pointing out into tank and an airstone.
Going to do water change tomorrow and prune, should I then do 3 day blackout?
Ideas appreciated.
Thanks guys
