Hey guys. I would like to get some advice from you regarding my low light, non CO2 tank and water changes.
Here are the specs.
29 Gallon with about 1.5 wpg of light.
Flora - Java Ferns, Anubias, Lemon Bacopa, Java Moss, Dwarf Hairgrass, Rotala Indica, 2 Crypts (I think wendtii), Marimo Ball, Moneywort, Red Ludwigia Repens, Willow leaf hygro - Hygrophila salicifolia, Vallesneria (not sure which one), Brazilian Pennywort, Wisteria, Cabomba, Dwarf 4 leaf Clover, Mint Charlie, & Guppy Grass.
Fauna - 2 Mickey Mouse Platies, 6 Pristella Tetras, 1 SAE, 23 RCS, 2 Olive Nerites, 5 Red Ramshorns, 3 very tiny Mystery Snails and lots of MTS.
Substrate is regular gravel and I have added root tabs.
How often should I do water changes? Or how can I tell when to do them? After reading some stuff here recently, I think I have been doing them too frequently.
Also, if I dose Seachem Flourish one a week and excel 3 times a week, will that have an impact on when I should do the water changes?
thanks in advance.
