Hello,
1. Size of tank in litres - 200l
2. Age of the set - up - 1 year
3. Filtration - Oase BioMaster 600. Using the original Oase filter media + 1L Seachem Matrix + 250ml Seachem Purigen
4. Lighting and duration - SOLIKU 90cm 48W Full spectrum LED light - running at 80% intensity. 6500K. Sunrise 13:00-13:30, 100% 13:30-20:30, Sunset 20:30-21:00
5. Substrate - Fluval Stratum
6. Co2 dosing or Non-dosing - Dosing pressurized CO2 - 4 bubbles per sec.
7. Fertilizers used + Ratios - Currently dosing TNC Lite 3ml daily + 6ml Easy Life EasyCarbo.
8. Water change regime and type - Water change 40% weekly using tap water. Tried 40% twice per week.
Tank water before water change:
Ph - 7.6 - 7.8
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 40
Phosphate - 0.5-1
Kh - 10
Gh - 16
Tap Water:
Ph - 7.6 - 7.8
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 30-40
Phosphate - 0.25 - 0.5
Kh - 10
Gh - 16
9. Inhabitants - 16 Neon/Cardinal Tetras, 12 Rummy Nose tetras, 6 Otocinclus, 4 Corrys, 10 amano shrimps, 2 dwarf honey gourami, 2 blue gourami
I've tried so many different fertilizers and lights settings. Tried adding overdosing... tried skipping days... tried with lowering the light intensity to 60%. I've read many people decreasing the light intensity and start adding phosphates. Tried adding 10ml Easy Life Fosfo daily for about 2 weeks and I think the problem got worse so i stopped and now i don't know what to do... I know the issue is probably in the way i am dosing fertilizers so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
