Hi all,i thought i would post this here instead of in my journal,as i am hoping for more opinions,
Right the only real probs i was having while doing a fish less cycle was a few diatoms/brown algae,now my filter has matured that has cleared up nicely,i was dosing easy carbo 1ml a day and i was getting this surface film so i quit dosing that and things seemed to get better,then i decided to up my co2 rate from 2bps to 4bps as the marsilea was struggling a bit,that improved but so did the surface film,so i am thinking the film is being caused by too much co2, my drop checker is a nice yellowy / green colour,all i dose now is TPN + 2 1/2 ml,s a week
your thoughts and idea,s what may be causing it would be very helpful
regards,
