Hi everyone this tank is now down as started looking unhealthy like last time, must be doing something wrong the only thing I have never changed is the EI starter kit and my water purifier , EI is by far the cheapest way to go for ferts but wonder if I should buy seperate salts but should be the same really, I am wondering if I didnt out enough light into tank and too much co2 but should that matter ? Same thing always happens plants start growing well co2 drop ok and plants start thining and browning and deteriorating after few weeks never cleaned filter much but pre filter in the g6 often, also started to find the co2 got worse at the end so suspect the diffuser blocked up so would need 2 for next time
Also been reading thread saying just put t piece directly into the in, et before filter for co2 anyine use this method ? Before took mine down I put a intank diffuser under the inket and didnt get burping but not sure if stored co2 in filter and had uncountable hight bps and couldnt get a decent ph drop so not sure if this method wont work ? Also had one of my light bars very low with yellow drop checker and never had much growth or any perling getting frustrating but had a nice break and re gained enthusiasm for another tank any inout welcome
Also any tips for drying out substrate had in sun for couple days in few containers and most dry but some still damp I remember reading about drying in oven but is this possible ?
Thanks for all support and help so far
