having a few new tank issues - mostly green water. cleared up large algae mess with help from this forum (thanks) but green water remains. increased CO2 2-3 days ago to about 40+ ppm (i think). plants seem to be heatlhy and are growing well but only pearl a little at the end of the day. have thought about getting a uv sterilizer but would rather get balance right if possible. any help is appreciated.
am also having trouble calculating CO2 level. ph is running about 6.6-6.8, tap KH is 9-10, therefore CO2 is about 45? If tank kh is 4, and if that is the number to use, then CO2 is about 20? I have been told I must use tap kh since the tank has amazonia.
75 gallons
