Im new to the barr report. Ive be trolling around looking at all the good advice and have taken it but i dont seem to be getting the results some of u have. I have yet to see any pearling.
For starters i have a
100 gallon 58"x21"x24"(inches may be a bit off)
4x55w pc 6500k half pink half white, 2x55w from 7am-6pm, 4x55w 8am-5pm
50lbs co2 bottle hooked up threw solenoid and milwakee ph cotroller, 3-4 bps.
using a redsea 500 reactor and koralia 3(in the process of making toms DIY reactor, thinking maybe my reactor is under powered)
kh 6-7
ph 6.8-6.9 fluctuates
substrate is flourite black
filtration eheim 2217
I dose according to seachems daily dosig chart compesated for 100 gallons
my fish stocke is a little unique
1 gold nugget pleco
1 fire eel
1 ornate bicir
1 king tiger pleco
4 bala sharks
4 gouramis
8 angels
3 SAE
4 nirite sails
1 EBJD
all get along except the king tiger and gold nugget
the tank itself and lights have been up and running for almost a year, co2 as been injected for about 1 and a half months, flourite black has been installed for a week now.
Should i expect to wait for 3 weeks for the plants to stabilize before i see any pearling or should it be immediate? also when i do my weekly 50% water changes no pearling is evident for that day either. most plants are doing well, shooting out new leaves every 2-3 days or so, some of my red plants (sry no names but if u need them i can get them) are starting to shoot out new stems but the leavs look like they are curling a bit.
Any advice or areas to look into would be appreciated.
Used to have bba but since co2 and sae's no evidence can be found. ph before co2 injection was around 7.6-7.8(not using test kit using milwakee ph probe).
If i have left out any inof which would help u gurus out on solving this please just ask.
thanks, mike
