I have recently added a CO2 injection and doubled the lighting in my tank, leaving me with a respectable 2.5 WPG. I was hoping this would make a big impact on my plants in the two weeks it's been set up, but the plants are still developing blackness on the leaves are really aren't flourishing.
I have been adding Interpet Floraboost when I do my weekly water changes and have been sticking to the recommended dose. Could this be increased without harming the fish?
The bulbs I now have in my lamps are 2 x Hagen Aqua Glo and 2 x Hagen Sun Glo and I have a suspicsion that I would be better off changing at least two of them to Life Glo.
Also I have been wondering whether it would be a good idea to add some peat based filter media. Do you think it would help at all?
Water parameters:
Amonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: >5
pH: 8
GH: 16
KH: 15
Temp: 78 (rising on hot days)
Doesn't look like the CO2 injection is doing much to me...
