The Worship of the Stones

Day 28:
Change up to 30 % of the water.
Check the technique (is the pump running, does the switch on/off clock work, is the CO2 running) and rinse the filter sponge (see how).
Add the fertilizer; We still recommend ½ a dose.
Cut the supporting plants so that they do not shade the other plants (see more about trimming here).
If you are now able to see signs of coating algae (see here), this is removed mechanically with a brush or sponge (many people use a toothbrush).
A heavy growth of coating algae can be due to excessive fertilization, or nourishment from dead plants or fish.


Everything done as it is writen there. Still no algae seen. Ferts added as they said. I cut the support plant and I put the the piece back in the sand.
pH varies between 6.6 and 6.8 (according with the dark/light program). NO2 drop to 0.01, finally!!! NO3 increased to 15. All living beings are OK.

Here are some pics.
