    hello
    I bought API leaf Zone and found it's missing Nitrogen & Phosphorus so i got both of this from Seachem .
    and i use recommended dosing, i didn't poured it to the tank directly but
    take a water from the tank & mix all 3 fert's in a cup, and slowly pouring it back to the tank.

    but after about 24 hours the tank top is resembling an OIL SPILL! upload_2020-8-13_20-32-59.gif
    is that typical & to be expected from fert's?

    also i noticed some of the neon tetra's lower rear fin tip turned a while back white on some of them.
    but could that be the start of fin rot & related to the fert's chemicals i've used?
    thank you.

    best regards
    Yaron
