"kush" wrote in message ... OK, you've got more than enough light and CO2 for photosynthesis, so if you're plants aren't growing, I assume that either they're nutrient deficient or the water's too cold. You've got nitrate and phosphate, so you need to supplement with trace elements. Make sure your thermostat is set at 72º or better. Doug Sheely wrote in message ... My tank has been set up for about two years but I just added the plants and new lighting within the last couple of months. I am not adding any fertilizers and I do have a UV sterilizer running after having a serious green water outbreak approximately 2 weeks ago.Plants include Amazon Swords, Camboa, Ludwiga,Micro Swords and others. "kush" wrote in message ... At pH 6.9 and kH 15, by formula, your CO2 is right at the level where it may start being harmful to your fish. What kind of plants do you have, how long has the tank been up, are you adding fertilizer, and what is the water temperature? Do you have algae and, if so, what kind? kush Doug Sheely wrote in message ... These are my current test measurements of my 55g planted community tank. Any suggestions? PH 6.9 KH 15 Nitrite 0 Amonia 0 Phosphate 1.0 Nitrate 20 Plant growth is minimal and no fish distress that I can see. I am fairly sure that my Co2 level is a little high. Co2 is injected at aproximnately a bubble a second. small gravel substrate. Magnum cannister filter. 2 - 55 watt pc lights. Thanks in advance for your suggestions to improve plant growth and overall health. |
