AHHH!
Ok, I'm new.. so please excuse. Here's the background info: 6 gallon tank, 8 watts (1.2 WATTS/ gallon), with 2 plants, one a moneywort and a gold fish.
Ok, so after 3 weeks of putting plants in my tank, things are not going so good. First of all, my leaves are turning black! What's up with that? Could it be because of the acidity? (It was around 6.2--> now back up to 6.8-7.0). I feed it plant food once a week too. The plants are in a little bit of Lariete (sp?).
I've also heard about an issue with Plants and BIOWheels. I have one running, so is it, or is it not depriving my 2 plants of CO2? If so, what should I do? Should I just remove it? But then, wouldn't my fish not get enough oxygen? (I'm using the goldfish as a starter for Nitrogen cycle--> soon to be replaced with more "sensitive" fish). Also, 1.2 WATTS/ gallon seems low, but my plants were considered "low" light requirement. Is 1.2 too low?
Thanks in advance,
