I currently have a 20g tank with gravel substrate. The only live plant I have so far is an Amazon Swords and a moss ball adding liquid plant fertilizer weekly with a root tab monthly. I plan on adding much more plants as well. The fish I currently have are 1 angelfish, 1 hatchetfish, 4 neon tetras, and 4 corydoras aenus. I plan on re homing most of these fish to have just 2 GBR (F and M pair), 8 Cardinal Tetras, and 6 Corys. I have to change it up because my water temp is high due to the fact that I live in a desert. The water temp is around 78-82F. The water condition is: 0 NO2 and NO3, ~7.5PH (adding driftwood eventually to lower for corys), and since I use strips I am going to purchase an ammonia test kit in a couple days. The water is a milky white and I have brown algae rapidly spreading across the gravel in my tank. I purchased a liquid to clear it up but I think it may be too much for the fish, unless its fine with a weekly dose of that and fert? I am buying a timer for my lights to be on 10h daily. I also have the filter that came with my tank but I am moving to a aquaclear 50 as soon as I run out of filter pads for my current one (2 more pads left). Is there anything I should change? If anyone requests I can add my plant list below. Thank you!
