Black neon tetra is acting extremely weird. Keeping a close eye on him and may QT him soon. However, he is one of the older fish in the tank.

Update...looks like I'm going to lose the tetra

50% PWC

Getting back to your dosing if you will...I believe you will get better results if you dose on water change day and starve the tank the day before. Then start with your macros, then your micros. The day the tank needs the nutrients most is on the day you remove them.

lately i have not dosed saturday, pwc'd sunday morning, dosed kno3 sunday afternoon. Is this what you are referring to or do you think I should start with plantex on sunday after a pwc? I can't remember which are macros and which are micros.
