I started EI dosing a while back (thanks for the help) and things where going well. Plants looked great...some BBA but ok overall I'd say.
Last week I was told dosing everything at once was bad so now I split the dose so the micro has it's own day. I can't say that is the issue but over the past couple days things have gotten very veery cloudy in the tank, green glass algae is way up too. My recent tests indicate things have gone crazy!
Amonia 1 ppm (normally always 0)
ph 6.4
nitrate 0 (normally 20)
Nitrite 0
phosphate 2.5 (hard to tell - colors are hard to judge)
kh 53.7 ppm
55 gal
2 CF 55 W each on 10 hours
DIY Co2
medium plant/fish load
dose 3X per week each batch w/ a 50% PWC 1X per week
Barr's GH Booster 1/2 tsp
CSM+B Plantex 1/8
Potassium Nitrate 1/2
Potassium Sulfate 1/8
Mono Potassium Phosphate 1/8
The Amonia is up...nitrates are 0? The plants are still spitting bubbles like there is no tomorrow as I type this but it looks awful in there.
Do another 50% PWC now and dose the second batch today and get the rotation going again tomorrow?
