I will keep the willow there so we can see how it goes.

Hi Edward,
Let us together find the cause of GW in your 10G tank. And if the tree is able to remove the cause.
Problem:
a constant GW for years
What we know:
Volume: 10G
Light: natural sunlight
Some more info required:
fish load and feeding, type of food and amount
plants load
fertilization (yes/no, what exactly)
- CO2 (yes/no, ppm)
water changes (%, how often)
substrate
About substrate. I have a feeling that this might be the most important thing in your case. What do you use? How often do you clean it if ever? How thick is the layer(s)?
Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate level - would be nice to know too.
