Hello Mates,
I am not sure if this is an alg or not? Some green spots (3mm-10mm diameter) appeared on the substrate 2 weeks ago. They are like paint stains on floor while painting a room. It doesn't seem like spreading (well this is how I observe at the moment).
Some info about the tank:
Tank setup is 1.5 month old.
70g
EI fertilization (started 10 days ago)
1/2 tsp KNO3 and 1/8 KH2PO4 as macro. 15ml JBL Ferropol every other day.
50% WC weekly
4x54watt (2xGrolux, 2x6500K fluorescent)
6hr/day photo-light period
30ppm pressurized CO2 by pH controller + CO2 reactor
Aquasoil Amazonia substrate
Plant biomass is pretty high
pH 6.0 (aquasoil lowers pH by itself to 7.0 from 8.1)
Eheim 2076 for filtration
Eheim Compact+ 3000 for circulation and driving CO2 reactor
9 SAE fish + some pest snails
Hint: I don't know if it is related but the spots appeared at the time when EI started.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
