I have a 29 gallon with:
1 angel
3 neon dwarf rainbows
1 gold graumi
2 red eye tetras
3 albino Cory cats
And 2 Otos
Is that over crowed?
My lights
Dual t5 6700k 18w each
Single t8 full spectrum 18w
3 single blue LEDs for night time.
On for 6 hours a day blue lights turn off at 3am.
My problem is that I'm getting black beard alge, and my plants have stopped growing for some reason, I have dirt substrate and black gravel for a cap.
My ph was 7.5
Everything else was 0 except nitrite the last one witch is about 5ppm every week I do my water change.
Will a high ph stunt plant growth? I took my coral out of my filter and tested tap, it was reading 7. So taking out the coral should help bring it down since I have my drift wood to help as well.
Any help would be awesome!
