Hello,
I have a 20L tank with crypts and anubias and 4 rummy noses. It was neglected and now that I moved it in the kitchen it will receive more attention. It has an internal filter and an 11w CFL and clay based gravel. NO water changes done just topping up of evaporated water!
Now I have decided to dose with EI.
1. What will be my dosing in EI (quantity wise)?
2. Do I need to dose Excel? Meaning will I gain more than I risk from all the carbon liquid implications (algae maybe)?
3. How long should I switch the lights on for?
4. I currently have some green hair algae and I don't know why since I don't do water changes, I dose EI (inaccurately) and I don't switch lights on so its just ambient light from the room (no direct sunlight). Why the algae?
5. Should I do water changes or not?
Thanks
