Please excuse the algae :goldfish: it is being addressed hopefully by consumption and gradual cleanup due to attrition.
So after much trials and tribulations ranging from getting a chipped new tank to getting camallanus worms as my first fish disease, I am converting my tank to pressurized CO2. Originally planned on a low tech setup with no CO2 at all. However, due to never ending algae and the desire to grow better plants I am converting. Just added pressurized CO2 today. Getting around 8ppm using KH/PH estimates and a bubble ladder. Hopefully that will be enough for now with my present lighting which is four 32wT8. I m going to make my own fixture and go to two 4xODNO32w + two 2xODNO32w (Strange combo due to ballast selection).
