adadkins1 said:Take the dead leaves out so they don't decay in your tank. I would definitely say that it is likely your crypt. They are probably the best known plant for melting, but as you know they will recover after a little while.

For the plants i have now i will dose Excel 2x a week for the nutrients and i use a liquid CO2 booster made by API every day.

George9 said:Alright, I got one more question lol sorry.
The ammonia is being converted reallllly fast. This morning, it was .25 ammonia, 5 + nitrite, 160 nitrate. I dosed the ammonia back up really fast. Accidentally to 8 ppm instead of 4. Tonight, the ammonia went from 8 ppm to 2 ppm in about 9 hours. Nitrite and nitrate were same. Now for my question, tomorrow morn, when the ammonia is low, should I leave it and wait for nitrites to drop? - not sure about that though. Or continue to dose back up to 4 ppm as usual. Will the nitrites drop when I keep dozing to 4 ppm? Thanks lol

George9 said:I think so. I'm just getting impatient I guess lol. I hope its done soon!!

I know you're using a fluval filter so i wanted to get your feelings on how good it is and how easy the maintenance is on it?
George9 said:Yes PLEASE GIVE ME A TIP lol. I know nothing about aquascaping lol. Is it about the placement of plants?
I considered the paradise fish but I couldn't find it anywhere. I was thinking some kind if gourami
