My tank has been doing pretty well since I last posted here I started dosing with seachem products (Florish,potassium.nitrate and phosporus) and I successfully switched from RO water to tap water using seachem Prime and it's working out fine.
I have some issues though, some of my Java ferns are see through towards the tips of the plants, there are still some green spots on my Anubias (though there are a lot less and I no longer get them on the glass) and now I have a new algae it's like hair I'm not sure what it is or what it means but here is a couple of pics:
Obviously I have some fertilizer issues and that's the source of all these problems. I can't quite figure out what amount I should be dosing.
My tank specs
Tank: 20 gallon high
Light: 65 watt coraflife ligh
Filter: 1 HOB penguin 200 with blue filter floss cut to fit and 1 small aquaclear filter filled with Bioballs.
C02: DIY system with 2 - 2 liter bottles that connect to the intake on a powerhead
Plants:Java Moss MicroSword Marimo Ball
Java Fern Anubias Barteri Anubias Coffeefolia Rotundifolia Rotala, Indica
Foxtail Ceratophyllum demersum Green Cabomba Cabomba caroliniana
Water Wisteria Hygrophila difformi
Livestock:6 black phantom tetras 2 ottos 1 cory cat 1 pearl gourami 1 yellow lyretail molly 1 pineapple sword 1 african dwarf frog, tons of random baby snails that caught a ride on my plants
I'm just about out of fertilizer so I’m going to place an order for more tomorrow but I don't know if I should get any thing extra besides Seachem Florish,potassium.nitrate and phosporus
or what amount to dose.
