Tell us more....tank size, filters, CO2 ?, ferts etc etc etc...
Hi yes sorry should have given more detail, it’s a juwel tank with 120lts capacity.
It was set up before I discovered this site so it still has the bio flow internal filter it came with, I’ve had no problem with it, other than getting the 10x water turn over, it only delivers 600 lts per minute (manufactures claim!! ) so taking the advice from here I added two flow pumps, 1000 lts per minute each on the back wall pointing to the front and slightly up to break the surface.
I inject food grade Co2 via a 6.5 kg cylinder with a Co2art valve group, to a 50mm bazooka diffuser. As I didn’t like the mist in the tank I inserted the diffuser into the filter between the second a third sponge in the top section. The Co2 comes on two hours before lights on, and off one hour before lights off. The drop checker is a mid green at lights on and lime green at lights off.
The flow pumps are also hooked up to the same timer as the gas, giving the fish time off from the flow.
The lighting is the standard t5 daylight bulbs with reflectors, with an eight hour photo period, this could still be to long but as things are going well, I have left it alone.
I’m using Co2 supermarket all in one macro and micro ferts 20mm daily, 4mm of liquid carbon daily.
The substrate is plain black gravel, 2mm to 3mm diameter.
