Thanks for the replies guys. I think I’m going to turn the rgb light off for 2 weeks and increase the white light for a couple of hours and see if I notice any change. Plant tabs sound like a good idea will these feed the water column? The flow comment is quite interesting I was always under...

Hey. No I don’t have a wave maker in there just an external filter. I think the flow rate is 1400lph. No no PH controller. The substrate is tropica soil.

So do you think I should get rid of the plant light? If so what is the actual point in the plant light? If I did that could I get a second white light?

Thanks for the replies guys. I’ve attached some photos below. I’ve got a few fast growing plants at the back I usually cut them every week and replant a few of the stems. My Monte Carlo hasn’t seemed to bed in either which I thought would be fast growing. I’ve read that rubber plecos might be...

I noticed this on my discus today and think it’s HITH. Just looking for a second opinion. Cheers, TT
