Hi all,
Firstly, Hi im new here. Secondly please go easy on me - everyday is a school day.
I am getting green spot algae on the glass and most leaves and my plants are growing very slowly.
I would like some advice and possible answers as to where Im currently going wrong.. I have a tropical Discus tank. 4ftx2tfx2ft.
I have sand substrate
Pressurised co2 ( approx 2 bps)
4 t5 39" lights ( currently only running two) running for 8 hours a day
A dark green drop checker
EI ferts that I dose according to the bottle, 10ml per 50L on alternate days.
I currently change 85% of water weekly (want to up this to 85% every other day but not sure how to dose the ferts)
Tank temp is 29degrees
I will get pictures at lights on in an hour or so. If anyone can help point me in a better direction I would be very keen to listen.
Thanks
Chris
