Hello there most if you probably know I am current doing a Ada 60p but had problems lately let's firstly say at first I was doing daily 50% water changes and then started every other day( have to do on night as work early) my tank started like this
I have 1 aquabar 50cm on 100% (currently turned down to 75%) and do daily 20ml micro/macro and co2 is around 3-4bps and drop check always yellow during lights on, I am using inline up atomiser but I have a few things to add, firstly I am using a fluval G6 and at the time of the picture above it had a 13 outlet and 17mm inlet but I then changed to 17mm inlet and outlet and I think that's when went downhill as flow was very fast here is a pic with 13mm bits still on
Started seeing good growth
Then 17mm bits added and went downhill
Since then I have went back to 13mm outlet but kept 17mm diffuser and co2 is great as was a bit hit and miss at first but constant now
Barley no healthy plants left, firstly besides tank is windows on both sides
Started shutting inds incase due to too much light but plants go horrible brown and melt away till very thin but ph readings are good as drops by 1, just order 4 pots Monte Carlo again and hopefully plant this week and keep daily water changes daily for 1 week again but any one any idea why I keep failing at first this went well until made a change, also another question I have large pipes under substrate and in places only around 1-2 cm deep you think this could be a problem might take them out this week and just have substrate ( ADA Amazonia)
Thanks again and appreciate any help
Thanks Dean
