I'm almost ready to give up on this high tech stuff here.
40 Breeder
Rex reactor on a 2217, almost killed fish before and drop checker never gets blue unless I remove it.
Dosing EI accordingly and have tested at the beginning of the week and the end and I'm hardly using any ferts up.
Lighting is a zoomed t5ho dual w/6500k and a 5000k.
Floramax substrate
Tank is over a year old now and it has gone through stages but I'm still not getting the growth from I should be. My Rotala gets about a inch a week and looks awful and Ludwigia not much better. Could my lights be whats holding me back? I'm thinking of adding a GLO dual fixture to find out. I honestly wouldn't mind an algae farm if the plants would just grow as they should. Here is where I stand, any more co2 and I kill fish, currently know I'm off the charts on Nitrates and Phosphates at the end of the week.
