Hello!
Could you help me with my nano aquarium.
I have a nano aquarium 16L, with flexi mini light.
Tropica powder aquasoil.
Eheim 2213 filter.
Tropica Premium and Specialised fertilizer alternately every day (1,2ml). (Now I try to reduce the dose and discard Tropica Premium.)
Under aquasoil ADA Bacter 100 and ADA Clear Super.
Light period 7h and co2 7h (drop Checker - light green)
The water temperature is 24C.
My water changes:
First 2 days: 75% every day
Next 5 days: 50% every day
Next 14 days: 50% every other day.
Тwice a week.
Now I try to do a water change once a week 50%.
I planted:
Rotala Green
Rotala rotundifolia
Hydrocotyle tripartita japan
Fissidenus fontanus moha
Hemiantus callitrichoides Cuba
Aquarium was launched about five weeks ago.
Plants grow well, but in the third week began to appear a lot of brown deposits on plants, rocks and walls of the tank (Diatoms)
Green algae, like fuzz covered almost the entire fissidens fontanus.
What am I doing wrong? It may need to increase the lighting or water changes or too much fertilizer can?
I did a test and it showed phosphates <0,02mg / l. NO3 about 15mg/l (Before the water change).
Every day I add at Tropica Premium line Specialised and fertilizer, a day on one press (1,2ml).
I tried to add two drops of PO4 every day. This is too little, or it should not be added at all?
