Hi guys.
I have a 4ft by 18inch by 12inch planted tank.
It has ADA AQUASOIL.
The tank is 7 months old but 6 months diy C02 and 1 injected C02. And C02 indicator is nice green.
I have 2 t8 daylight bulbs on from 4-9 one goes off and the other one stays on till half 9. (However I dont have reflectors on bulbs)
I do weeky 50% wc and have an external filter that is capable of cycling double the size of my tank.
I dont use ferts at the moment but will be willing to do so.
The problem is my plants are pearling but not as much as expected.
Growth of plants appears to be slower than algae growth.
I have a recurring problem with hair algae and bluegreen algae/bacteria.
Helpppp pleasee.
