ive got a Rio 180, with carpet of HC, dwarf hairgrass towards the back, java moss on the wood and 5/6 stems of hygrophilia at the sides. i started with low co2 injection but its now getting, what i would deem high, around 4bps, the dropchecker reads light green when i turn the lights on and before they go off! is this right or could i have set up the dropchecker wrong? i followed all instructions as per the AE website. i dose EI very roughly, just pouring a little bit in every other day, probably alot more than is recommended. the lights are on for 11 hours a day, which i konw is high but due to work etc.
im suffering with all sorts of algae but doesnt seem to be growing anymore but cant get my hc to start growing and pearling in non-existent! ists got a little bit of hair algae but the shrimp seem to be working their way through, albeit slowly!.
does anyone know where i can get a regulator for the light switch? also im interested in getting something to control my co2 but dont know alot about it, can anyone help?
cheers
Matt
