Ph profile done is 7.4 1 hr co2 kicks in drops steadily when lights come on ph is 6.4 and drop checker lime green on the more yellow side had no issues till trimmed a couple of weeks ago
Can t see how it can be flow cause all my plants are swaying and can see the co2 all over the tank being put in by a inline atomizer every plant is pearlin just don't see why the hc would melt in patches
Just cleaned my tank - this is the flow I have which I think is pretty high? 600lph but 400lph working, 22l tank so even if it’s half that it’s still around 10 times right?
I’ll see if positioning the return lily pipe here helps and if not I’ll add another powerhead and see if that helps - do you think corner or middle of the tank would be better flow? Not sure as it’s only a small 22l similar to Jay’s.

Ok so both pointing forward should I try both on one side first and my plants at the back have gone back to having the brown brittle leaves again ceg
If the tank is a rectangle then it is always best to allow the flow from the pumps to travel across the SHORTEST distance so that energy of the flow is conserved as much as possible. If the tank is a cube then obviously it does not matter. Front-to-Back should always be tried first.Ok so both pointing forward should I try both on one side first and my plants at the back have gone back to having the brown brittle leaves again ceg

Cheers,
Yes, this is generally true because water is quite dense and heavy, so it loses inertia quite quickly unless it is being muscled or cajoled.So with shortest distance the water will have more momentum when it hits the glass so should deflect downwards towards the carpet with more energy and move more of the water at the bottom as it would if it had to travel a longer distance. Makes sense when you point it out.
So it follows on if the flow is flowing a longer distance you will need a higher turnover rate to achieve the same CO2 distribution as running the flow a shorter distance!
I suggest you take a closer look at that algae on the glass to confirm it's appearance.Ok so I have put the pipes facing forward so could the flow be the issue in the plant dicolouring dosing macros and micro alternate days but I still feel that there is a plant defiance but I can't see why there would be doing 10ml macro sun tue thur micro 10ml mon wed fri with rest day Saturday and 50% water change on Sundays also get a lot of the green dust kinda alge on the tank glass
Haha @ceg4048, You are certainly emphatic in your explanations! I am going to have a continuous smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon. 😛It requires an entire world the size of the moon to distort the space-time continuum enough as it passes by to force the ocean to rise in a six foot tide.
