2x t5 is too much for that amount of plant you in there
Maybe add a thorough filter cleanup in the agenda?Then over the weekend (Saturday or Sunday), do another large water change (50-75%), and turn the lights back on.
Yep. That what my advice at the first but George said he working on his bike so money is a problem.I pretty much agree with everyone one here. Having said that given how the tank has progressed I would start again if this were me (im pretty fickle having said that
Mentally, starting over again might be worth your while George. There is absolutely loads of really useful info on this forum if you take the time to research properly before you start I'm sure you can improve this tank. Considering you haven't got a huge plant mass in the tank I don't think you're set to loose much.
If it were me I drain the tank, re-house the fish (are there any?), chuck the plants, rinse the substrate, thoroughly clean the filter and start again using the numerous filter cycling tutorials and threads on this forum.
I know how hard this can be. My tank looked awful when i started and by the time I finished wasn't the best by a long stretch but if you follow everyone's advice you'll hit the jackpot!
Read into power-head/filter output methods and flow diagrams and adapt your tank before you rush into buying plants too as it still looks like you can improve on your current layout.
This is just my advice but sometimes wiping the slate clean is a worthwhile strategy

Green water algae blooms are not triggered by dechlorinator. Green water is caused primarily by excess light, and excess waste products.
Might even be clive you know hahahaFor a while I thought it was Clive trolling us. Since George Dicker appeared around the same time that Clive went AWOL.
