Hi folks,
i recently set up a new tank. I made a big mistake by not adding any Mg to my tab water and not adding any Nitrat and Phosphat. All three were 0 for about two weeks. Now i am having a lot of algae. The water itself is little bit green. I switched last week to EI plus added some Mg. I am not sure if things are getting better. At the moment everythings just looks horrifying. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Is it possible to get this tank back on track?
My fertiliser for EI is makro basic from Tobi (flowgrow)
With this i am adding daily
3,68 mg/l NO3
2,8 mg/l K
0,68 mg/l PO4
Calcium is 40mg/l in my tab water
Magnesium should now be up to 7 mg/l
GH is 6.2
KH is 5.8
CO2 is 35mg/l
I am also adding mikro basic the normal way.
Is this ok? Seems to me very much.
Thanks and regards
Axel
