Hi i have a 55 gallon tank.The tank is stuffed to its gills with annubias,some moss and some amazons
Here are some specs
Fish 6 Angels,6 congos 5 rams,3 cories,and a bunch of otto cats
Lights 36w X 2 pll's 6500k on for 6 hours a day
Dosage
Micros 6 ml a week dosed one hour before lights off
Macros 1/2 teaspoon of Potassium sulphate and potassium nitrate,1/8th teaspoon of phosphate.
I did not want to invest in a full blown co2 system thats why i have gone the flourish excel way.I went as per the directions did a 40 percent water change and added 40ml the first time.After that have been adding 5ml daily.
Some of the annubias especially the older leaves are getting covered in green spot algae.Any way to get rid of it?Also i do 40 percent water change weekly.Do i need to add that 40 ml again or was it only a first time application?To get rid of the green spot algae should i increase or decrease flourish excel and the other ferts?Are my lights ok?
