Hello Flagg,
Nice tank.
Here's a few things to consider for your tank during the critical break-in period.
Your tank will probably work out fine in the end. Hopefully, one of my suggestions will help you out!
Nice tank.
Here's a few things to consider for your tank during the critical break-in period.
- Change water and add charcoal to the filter
- Add floating plants
- Reduce (temporarily) light intensity. You have much more light than you need at this stage; once the plants start filling in the tank and take off, you can ramp up the lighting to 3 X 96 watts of CFL
- Add a UV sterilizing filter that will definitely kill the green water algae
- Add antibiotics (kanamycin/erthromycin) to kill the blue-green algae
Your tank will probably work out fine in the end. Hopefully, one of my suggestions will help you out!
