I have ottos already... They seem to do a good job for my glass. However I have green looking water right at the bottom where they can't get to. I think snails could do the job. LFS don't have a variety of snails :(

Ooh thank you!!

My question is, which algae eaters only eat algae and not my plants.. I have green algae forming under/near my HC and would like to get rid of. I have already 2 ottos and 2 Siamese algae eaters. Please help.

No idea I haven't checked this. I am in the process of switching to R/O water. Can you naturally lower kh & gh? Or would I need the aid of buffers?

I have a 12 gallon planted aquarium. And it's been running for maybe 5-6 weeks can't remember how long exactly. I had 8 cherry red shrimp and they all died one by one. So I got testing my water. Ammonia -0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate is .25 ppm apparently it's fine. My ph is 7.4 My gh and kh are sky...

Yep, I have a stingray elite filter.. Which came with the tank setup. ( it's ok) But I would like the co2 to go all the way across cos all I see is the co2 bubbles just goes to the surface.

I have 8 neon tetras, 2 ottos and 2 siamese algae eating fish. They all seem to be doing fine.

I don't understand what all is in tank again??

Okay so what do you suggest?.. I turn it off at night already...

Mini diffuser that came with the tank, iv lowered it down to 1 bubble per 2 sec. Iv found one shrimp that survived! And he looks healthy! :) I really don't know what's happened. Iv explained this situation to my LFS and they said to bring a water test in and they will do every single test as...

My question is how do I increase my waterflow. I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium and I would like it so my co2 will reach all of my hc. Please help. Maybe I could get a extra water pump? I don't know.

No signs of distress. They look very healthy and feed well. 2 or 3 bubbles per second. I turn it off at night. All I can think is, nitrate spike? I will have to invest in a tester and post results.

You think I was overdoing it with the co2? Do u think I need a bubbler on at night perhaps?

Right the parameters are... No ammonia no nitrites. I haven't got a nitrate tester.. My co2 indicator is green. I switched to RO with minerals it was only 50p more. So why not! My tank temp is a constant 26.5 degrees Ph.. Last time I checked was fine. I think it was 8.. But I'm sure it's...

Anyone?
