Hi All,
I need your help again in the fight with the algae on the pictures.
The aquarium is 1 year and 2 months old. 200L (tap water)
Tap water parameters: PH 7.6-7.8; Nitrate 20ppm; Ammonia 0; Nitrite 0; KH 10; GH 16
Light - Soliku 48w Full Spectrum LED. On at 13:00 to 21:00 with 30 min Sunrise and Sunset. Currently running on 70%
CO2 - Yes, Pressurized CO2 - 4 bubbles p/s.
Diffuser - JBL inline diffuser - Amazon product ASIN B09CQFJFBNFertilizer - all my plants were covered with GSA and you guys advised me to switch to EI Method so i bought the EI started kit and started following the instruction. That helped but now my hardscape is looking like that and it's getting worse.
How i mix fertilizers:
Macros:
500lm water
17grams Potassium Nitrate
4.2grams Potassium Phosphate
25grams Magnesium Sulphate
Micro:
500ml water
4.2grams
Dosing:
Sun - Water change 40ml Macros
Mon - 40ml Micro
Tue - 40ml Marcos
Wed - 40ml Micro
Thu -40ml Macros
Fri - 40ml Micro
Sat -
After 2 months doing that the Nitrate levels went sky high so i stopped adding Potassium Nitrate. After a month doing this there is no change. Now when i test with API test kit the nitrate levels are still above 40ppm
When i treat locally with EasyCarbo, after 1 week there is no sign of the algae but then the start coming back.
Any help with be appreciated. Thanks
