Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi
I need a little help with my tank maybe a lot of help. I have had this tank setup for about four months and I'm not sure if I'm doing anything really the correct way. It's a 29 gallon brackish tank with two puffers, a green spotted and a figure eight, a standard pleco, a rainbow shark, an eclipse cat, a dragon goby, and three black fin tetras. I have a 30 gallon tetra filter with about an eight inch heater.i use aquarium salt and a pool sand substrate. I just put in the dragon goby (who digs non stop) and some plants but now my tank is green and it doesn't seem to be going away after I change the water. I looked up that it could be a algae bloom so my tank has been blacked out for three days but it's not getting better. I'm just now hearing about pH, nitrate, and nitrite levels. I'm also hearing now about cO2 setups but I would rather stay away from that big of a setup for now. I would just like to hear some advise and things I should fix or that I should keep doing.
