Hi all,
I set this tank up at the end of January. It is my first planted tank and was pretty excited at the start but now the issues are taking over my enthusiasm.
I haven't had any issues with the fish, no diseases and no deaths. The cherry shrimp are also loving life and reproducing like their lives depended on it.
I wasn't sure whether to post this in the algae section or plant as I have issues with both. I have a bad green algae problem. I take out as much as I can every water change (weekly) but I cannot get rid of it. Obviously something isn't right...
The plants also aren't doing great. Brown patches, some holes and poor growth. Again I am new to this so obviously doing something wrong.
I dose easy carbo daily and tnc complete weekly.
I have led lighting which came with the tank. I emailed aqua one to ask about it as it can't be dimmed. They told me it was 115 par at 30cm and 50par at 60cm.
Any help would be amazing and let me know if you need more info. Photos are attached.
