Aquarium Advice FINatic
this the current state of my 40g planted after i moved last weekend and rescaped things a little bit.
i'm still following the barr EI, without measuring parameters. as a result i have to battle with several kinds of algae(duh!), the current one beng some sort of blackish algae (which feels coarse to touch and is very short). but i'll not give up the fight that easily . also there are some iron-deficiency symptoms, despite using iron-rich plantex.
updated specs -
2 NO 40W bulbs (1 GE P&A, 1 GE daylight) and 1 2X (or 4X?) ODNO GE daylight;
DIY CO2 (diffuser - air-intake of penguin powerhead)
eco-complete substrate (20lbs) + black estes gravel
Fluval 304 with prefilter.
