Thank you. All of this is extremely uninformative.

Ok. Thanks. A lot more to learn with this. I guess I'll just see what works. Do I want higher phosphates? Not sure on that and why.

What about the substrate ferts. Will that add to the water column? I do water changes every week.

I will stop liquid ferts for now and I dimmed lights a little more. I already have the at about 7.5 hours a day. I'll keep tabs on it and go from there. Love the planted tank style and am hooked. Thanks guys for the tips.

I have noticed on new growth, there is no algae until growth slows.

I am using fluval plant pro lighting. It's on for about 8 hours per day. Nitrate levels are very low and don't know phosphate. I dose liquid ferts about 2-3 times per week and perform weekly water changes. I have even dimmed the lights a little.

My 46g has been established for months now and grows very well for the most part. I use eco complete with dry fertilizers and also liquid ferts dosing. Also use flourish excel. A lot of my plants have algae on them. I'm at the point now we're I think I'm going to get injected C02 for better...

My java fern is growing crazy black fuzz and my leaves on my stem plants are getting holes and falling off. Also just started getting green spot algae. Does anyone have any advise on what could be causing this. I'm going to move to a 46g in a couple weeks. I use eco complete, substrate ferts, I...

Ok. What would be a good recommendation for low to mid light plants and maybe something to carpet the ground mildly

Why algae without co2? Why would this cause it?

I just received a 46g bowfront with filter and all the trimmings. I just resealed it and I'm going to convert my 20g planted to this 46g. First, what should I do for lighting. I want to do it right. Want to go heavily planted. Also, any suggestions on caring for the abundance. Right now I run...

Hmmmmm. Yes my tank is mini cycling. Ammonia is about .5 and nitrites are about the same. I am using prime as always and the same filter. Should I remove some and add distilled Water? Also, should I lower intensity of the light?

Actually today. But I always change weekly. Right now the light is off and the fish are swimming more middle to top now. Wondering if light is to bright.

I have a 20g tall planted tank with a fluval aquasky light on it. I just switched my substrate from sand to eco complete and my fish are all staying at the bottom. Even when feeding they don't want to come up to well but will eat. They are better when the light isn't on but they never seemed to...

The bag did say floraspore. This should do well coated to what I had. The play sand was to compact. When I stirred it, it would smell.
