I dunno. But the advisors are gonna ask you about your water parameters, lighting and ferts.

i dont have any test kitsd and i have a 28 w cf coralifed , and i cut back on my kent fert.

Well then you need test kits. If I don't know your water parameters, I can't tell you what's wrong and how to fix them. My guess would be high phosphate levels...but then again it could just be that nitrate is too low.

Test kits are mandatory.

i think i might have overdosed it with fert.. so it may be the phosphates...how can i get rid of it...? its covering almost all my dwarf hairgrass and is dark green /black root / hair like algae

 

[malkore]

Water changes, to lower the nutrients you overdosed. And get test kits.

 

[dertyharry420]

what test kits do you recommend..?
