this is a planted tank with java fern, and marimo. I had some sort of bloom, but I switched substrate to turtle pebbles. thre is graygunk coating the roots of my java, and such as shown in the pictures.
I do 30% every week, from bottled spring water as my water is terrible currently. I use amquel occasionally. my NI NA and AM levels are fairly low, and im using a fx200 canister filter on a wand and filled with bath scrubber netting on the intake.
