Aquarium Advice Activist
Haven’t posted in a while. After moving, my tank (60g 24tall. ) has been running for about 3 months. It’s doing just OK. It started out strong, but never seemed to recover after the diatom bloom. First time with both, high light and CO2 injection. Anyway…
Want my tank to look great!!! Faster growth, more pearling, etc. Looking for advice, suggestions, anything I might be missing.
Water fairly consistent:
78-81 degrees
PH- 6.8 Day 7.0-7.2 Night
KH- 9-10
Phosphate- 2
Nitrate- Dose to keep it around 20
---
Fert schedule (starting to have doubts).
All of it is dry from Greg Watson: CSM+B and Potassium Sulfate
Day
1- 50% WC, 1/2tsp. Pot
2- 1/8tsp CSM+B
3- 1/2tsp. Pot
4- 1/8tsp CSM+B
5- 1/2tsp. Pot
6- 1/8tsp CSM+B
7- 1/2tsp. Pot
Too much, too little, extra Iron?
--
Light= CF 10,000 and 12,000:
130W on 11 hours
another 130W on 7 of those same hours
Have some annoying algae (think it’s red) looks like a beard mostly on the edge of leaves.
If you digested all that! Maybe you could give me some tips. I’m still kinda a newbie, am I missing something?
THANKS!!!!! to anyone willing to help.
