Beginners Info Sheet
--------------------
Tank Dimensions (LxWxH):
Tank Volume (litres or gallons): 30G
Lighting Intensity(No of Watts) : 4x30W
Type of Lighting (FL/PL/MH) : FL
No. of Hours your light is on : 10-12
CO2 Injection Rate (bps) :
Type of CO2 (DIY/Liquid/Tank) : DIY
Method of Injection (e.g. Diffusor/Reactor): DIY power reactor
Substrate Used : sera substrate
How Thick is your base fert :
How thick is your gravel :
Liquid Fertilizers Used :
Frequency of fertilization : every water change ( 1xweek)
Tank Temperature : 30C
Type of Filter (overhead/internal/canister) : Fluval 304
Filter media used :
How long has your tank been set up : 3 months
Other equipment :
Chemical Properties (Fill what you can)
---------------------------------------
Carbonate Hardness (KH): 3
Total Hardness (gH): 7
pH : 6.5
NH4 (ppm): 0
NO2 (ppm): 0
NO3 (ppm): 10
PO4 (ppm): 0.7
Fe (ppm):
Bioload (Your Fish and Plants)
3 young discus, 4 Blue Ram, 8 Neon tetras, 4 coridors
I do 1 water change per week, by that time the NO3 reaches 20ppm so I do not need to add any NO3.
I started adding K2SO4 a week ago, the amount I add is to reach 20ppm in the water volume I change.
Started dosing PO4 using fleet enema 2 days ago, before adding this my PO4 levels were 0.1ppm
As far as micronutrients the only thing I can get is JBL ferrotabs, Sera frourite, Tetra florapride, and I recently bought a dry compound of micronutrients from a flower garden that has
0.33% Boron (B)
0.02% Cobalt (Co)
0.08% Copper (Cu)
5% Iron (Fe)
0.77% Manganese (Mn)
0.03% Molybdenum (Mo)
0.33% Zinc (Zn)
but the liquid solution is VERY dark and I am afraid to add it to the aquarium because it my make the water very dark.
There is green algae on the glass and also some black hair on the grass and java moss.
I noticed recently that some of my plants are not doing well.
Look at the pics bellow.
could you tell me what deficiency and how to proceed.
Thanks
