Might have forgotten something

Currently battling algae and unhappy plants due to nutrient inbalances and a no3 tester that was not correct.

Under a pic of the current state and the state it was a little better in balance (not as it should tho)

Nice looking tank and those lights produce a nice dark rich color! How do I convince you to abandon the Sprite water and go with a Yugang reactor ?

 

[Jarno]

Im already convinced hahah. I really hate the sprite

Today i changed and gonna try to keep no3 stable at 25mg/l.
