I set up my tank 2 months but after going to adc in great Portland street and looking at their nano tanks I have a couple of questions.
They were stunning, algae free, crystal clear no gasping fish, shrimps looked happy. What am I doing wrong!!!!!
What I noticed, hardly any flow, co2 diffuser was producing a trickle of bubble, not much at all really, 11w on most of them with a pink bulb above on a strip.
Now my tank 30l, loads of flow, 11w light, on 5 hrs a day, loads of co2 - drop checker more yellow than green, fert 2ml a day. Why have I got hair algae? Plants don't carpet like theirs (glosso)
My filter is spitting out bubbles every 20 mins or so for about 5-10 secs. Is this trapped co2? Or air? What I want to know will this be fluctuating my co2 levels? I have a glass intake. If this gets blocked a little bit slowing flow from the filter will this cause a fluctuation? its an inline diffuser btw
