Relax.What are the parameters of your tank? Lights, photo-period, CO2 fertilizer regimen, substrate, how long has the tank been set up, inhabitants ect ect

ya sorry i tried to post my tank specs when i posted this but the only pic i had was too big and i had to run
okay so its a 20 gallon started on the sep. 8th so like 3 weeks. 2x 24W T5 coralife fixture which i have on from 8 to 8. i try to turn the room light on at 6 and off at 10. i have a 150 penguin filter. and a jager heater at about 75 ish. i have yeast CO2 in a hagen natural co2 system running up a bubble latter at about one bubble every 7 seconds and the bubble is almost nothing at the top. about 90% gone. (my co2 isn't actually running at the moment cuz i took it apart to add a bubble counter to catch the gunk. was getting whispy white stuff coming outta it.) i also back up my CO2 with 2ml of excel every morning. and i dose about one and a half ml of regular flouish every thursday and sunday. Eco complete substate

As to biotics i have 3 otos which have been in for about a week and a half. they seem to be doing well. actually look better than they did when i bought them from petsmart (LFS doesn't sell otos :angryfire:angryfire:angryfire). last weekish i got 7 serpae tetras. had 3 shrimp that i bought like 2 days after i started the tank but they died off also have hc that i'm trying to get to carpet. temple plant i think they're called (hygrophila corymbosa). and lots o' long whispy things (wacaya?)

when i went in to get the tetras i had the guys test my water (since they do it for free) the guy said almost 0 ammonia. very few nitrites and a bit more nitrates than i should but should settle out soon. had him run a high pH test because mines always the highest reading but its only barely above. maybe 7.7ish

hope thats enough info lol. if its not tell me anything else you need to know. thanks in advance for all the help!!
