Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Just joined today, so I thought I'd say hi.
I have returned to the hobby after a 10 year break. But this is my first proper planted tank ever, I have been running it for about a month now, basic freshwater fishes and lots of plants, a learning ground before I start a bigger tank. I presently have a 24 gallon tank with DIY CO2.
I have a canister filter running, I was told by a friend that I should take out the "active carbon" as it eats up most of the nutrients. Is this correct?
My parameters are GH 9, KH 6, PH 6.8 NO2 0.5. Should I lower my KH a degree or 2?
I am still working on new plants and will do photos soon.
