keep up the journal good to read and see what going on.did all my tests with the api kit
they are as follows
ph-6.4
kh-50ppm
phosphate-5.0ppm
ammonia-0.0ppm
nitrite-0.0ppm
nitrate-8.0
so all i need to do is up the nitrate and down the phospahte(which has decresed 10ppm in less than a week)
also added some more ricca to complement the dwarf ricca that was in there,

Holy hell, I WANT YOUR TANK!
Just... Holy crap it's amazing.
We REALLY need to get ahold of a co2 kit!! If that is what it does in just a week... DANG.
Your tank is just absolutely stunning. I hope we can have one that looks that great.
One thing.. Keep an eye on your betta's fins. Some of those fish might see the bettas fins as fair game for nibbling.

Ah alrighty then! Just makin sure! hehe
week three now
week2
week1
on friday i tested my tank everything was fine bar the phosphate and the nitrate so i added more nitrate to get the correct ppm but being foolish i also added 10ml of trace, which i later found out makes the water cloudy.
so i did an early 50% water change and used mt tetra-safe dechlorinator which made a film on the surface, bloody stuff.
so i moved my internal filter up just to give a little more surface aggitaion, not breaking the surface but just getting it moving.
could this be all it is, as it has never been cloudy, also im struggling to get the phosphate down below 5.

The tank's immense! I see you've got a drop checker ( I think )... Don't really know how to use it though...
