Hi All
I have a 240 liter tank. about 53 or 63 gallons depending if metric or imperial.
I have had a hard time trying to get any of my aqaurium plans to flourish.
this is the test i did this morning, i did a 50 liter water change on thursday.
Ammonia - 0,003 mg/l
Nitrite - 0.000 mg/l
Nitrate - 5mg/l
PH - 6.5 - 7.0
Phospate - 0.1 mg/l
KH - 4dkh
GH - 8 dgh
Iron - 0.05 mg/l
Copper 0.000 mg/l
Stocking wise i have
19 neon tetras
19 Harlequin rasboras
15 guppies (young)
4 Japonica shrimps
7 Red cherry Shrimp.
I have been dosing
5 ml daily easy life easy carbo
25 ml tropica aqua care weekly.
i have had a few algea issues but this is now under control.
i have canister co2 injection. drop checker is showing green.
i have eco complete substrate.
i really dont know what else to do. the tank does not look the way i want it to so i am now getting very depressed about it.
i have been looking up dry ferts but not sure which way to go with this.
on a seperate note, i have covered both my intakes with fish net netting as i brought some shrimp ages ago, and they got sucked up the filter or into the power head (which i have now removed). the problem is that it is clogging up bad is there something else i can use.
I would really appreciate any help i coud get. but if my thinking is correct i am not dosing enough in the way of nutrients. but i need to be carefull what to use due to my shrimps.
Thank you
Damien
