Hello All.
My aquarium 540l {water 370-400l] 150x60x60
Dosing Ei index micro and macro 3x times a week{Every sunday 50% water change] - Only RO water { no added equlibrium booster] - Using 35 kg Seryiu Stones!
Aquarium equipment:
Lights 6x80w T5 tubes Ati sunpower unit {lighting 8 hours each day] lights 55 cm above the water level.
Co2 from presurize bootle 2h on before lights on , 1h of before lights goes of!
Tropica soil = tropica ferts sand = Npk tablets in a substrate aded.
Filter 2x Oase Biomaster thermo 600 ..Flow 1250l/h { media Bio media Eheim,Seachem purigen 6x,Seachem matrix,Eheim bio balls] ,connected to the lilly pipe and skimmer.
First filter is coonect to the external reactor with bio media in it so real flow of the filter is propably arround 500l/h
will have to add adjustable flow external pump connect to the filter {remove it the impeller] as the reactor have problem disolving all co2 and is filled up with air on the top and boobles comming out from the lilly pipe outlet.
Second filter real flow 600l/h its full of media.
Im using as well 2x power head 2000l/h as i hjave some death spots in a tank .
Skimmer flow 250l/h
All together is arround 5300l/h
2x chihiros doctor
Dosing as i calculate in a butterfly calculator for 370l water value
Mo,Wed,Fri:
Kno3 - Not doosing constantly 5ppm of No3 in a RO water
Kh2po4 - solution of 500ml RO water + 3.31g dosing 80ml 3x times a week.
Po4= 1.0ppm
P=0.41ppm
K=0.33ppm
Mg2so47h2o - solution of 500ml RO water + 117,25g dosing 40ml 3x times a week
Mg=2.5ppm
S=3.3ppm
Dgh=0.62
K2so4 - Solution of 500ml RO water + 51,53g dosing 80ml 3x times a week.
K= 10ppm
CSM+B Solution of 500ml RO water + 10g dosing 80ml 3x times a week
FE 13% chelated EDTTA solution of 500ml Ro water + 10g doosing 80ml 3x times a week.
Fe= 0.56ppm
Fighting still with some algea and im completely lost as i dont know what im doing wrong and where can be a problem.
Algea i have is
Cladophora On HC
Oedogonium on blyxa japonica
GSA on front glasses but not much.
My plants are suffering
Reinieckii mini holes in a leaves and GSA or green algea
Im asking you ALL as you are much more experience then my for a HELP what i should change to have it eventualy nice tank without or less algea PLEASE!!!
every week im measuring water parameters
The parameters they are:
NO3-5ppm
NO2-0ppm
NH4-0-0.2ppm { its hard to judge the colour} Using API freswater test kit]
PO4-is 0ppm {now on sunday] Dosing 0.5ppm 3x times a week MO,TUE,FRI.
KH-3
GH-8 { would like to get under 6 but dont know how as the seryiu stones increase GH]
PH- 6.6
Any Tips guys PLEASE!
Sorry for the long story i try it put as many information as i know!
