My tank is an open top, I had a glass top but it quickly became covered in white. Should I try to clean the glass and put that back on? And is a DIY co2 better than dosing with excel since I always forget? Plants have been In there 4 months. And also, what test kits and macro/micros do you...

Sorry I meant to say Flourish. I always forget to add excel daily Sent from my SPH-L720 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 20g freshwater tank with two mollies and a swordtail. My plants and the walls of my aquarium are covered in what I assume is algae its white/light green and its furry or hair looking. Is there any ways of getring rid of this? I scrubbed it off the walls and have been doing water changes...

Im sure you could get a way better explanation. But kh is carbonate hardness, the higher kh means pH wont fluctuate as much, gh is general hardness. Which is how hard your water is. Mollies prefer higher kh and gh

Yeah I have mollies and they were acting all lethargic and my pH was having huge swings. Kh was 0 and gh was 2 so I hardened up the water and they are good now lol

It is just a water conditioner. So add it to your untreated tap water and then add it to your tank. Dont add untreated water to tank. And you should be good

My 20g cycled tank is now completely covered in brown, rust colored stuff. When I vaccuum gravel it wont come off... its covering my glass and plants too. I have mollies who nibble on it. But every day its getting worse. I have 4 plants. Nitrates are 20ppm and pH is 8. I use flourish excel...
