So I set up this 20 gallon long tank up about a week ago with flourite black sand finnex fugeray planted+ Running for about 14 hours. I know that's really long but that is as short as I can make it, I only have a timer for the co2, but will be getting another shortly. And a paintball co2 system going at 2 bubbles a second for 9 hours a day at with about 20 cherry shrimp, 2 ghost shrimp, 2 Amano, 6 assassin snails (I don't have any pond snails or pest snails right now I just freaked out because I saw two in the same day and killed them so I got six but haven't seen any since then), and finally 2 trumpet snails. I dose phosphates 2 times a week, potassium about every other week, and iron a half dose every week. (I think the iron may be the culprits because did an over dose when I set it up because I added a huge amount of red plants that weren't that red). This it the stuff it is on my java moss, ludwigia repens and needle leaf, ambulia, and my dwarf hair grass. How should I solve this, the tank is going threw the nitrogen cycle right now so I don't what to end up replacing all the water and have to start the cycle over again. The shrimp are new so I don't want to stress them out too much with a big water change they were introduced earlier this afternoon.
