thanks do you have alot of flow in the tank

 

[south coast nelly]

There is a stong under current to the right hand lower of the tank, you watch them swim into flow and get blown down very quick..

NH3<Ammonia>> 0

NO2<Nitrite>> 0

N03 <Nitrate>> 0

PH<PH Wide range>> 8.0-8.5

Iam actually worried now to preform a waterchange if needed

def. no need to do a water change with those perameters , the amount of plants you have in is doing all the work a water change would do . it is set up perfect ,so i would leave it as is.

ph 8 to 8.5 - now that is interesting , and may be worthy of note , as you are the only person to manage this and most of us have gone with the slightly lower than neutral therory without sucsess , think i will spit mine into two tanks one at below neutral and one buffered with a bit of coral upto 8 and see if it seams to help .


cheers col
