Aquarium Advice Regular
thanks for looking,
46 gallon
96 watts of light, 12 hr rotation (I have 96 more but I'm trying to avoid adding a co2 unit)
60 lbs Eco-Complete
Penn Plax 1200 Cascade filter
79 degrees via Ebo-Jager
NO co2, although I have been dosing with Flourish Excel (SeaChem)
3 Yo-yo loaches (added after two weeks)
1 golden algea eater (added after three weeks)
2 farlowalla (added after four weeks)
3 asst swords
2 dwarf grass clumps
3 taller grass clumps
I'd like to add alot more in the way of plants but I'd like to get my situation under control.
3 medium pieces of driftwood
ammo 0
nitrates 0 (!?)
kh (Red Sea test) 12-18 ppm, 4 drops
gh (Red Sea test) >30ppm, 9 drops!
ph 7.6+ (mykit states tht it doesn't read higher)
soooo,...what the heck is going on? Fish seem very happy, plants look ok-ish...
Shouldn't my nitrates be up a bit? gh and kh seem way to high?
How do I knock that ph down? More chemicals? Should I just suck it up and add co2?
thanks pals!
