Hey guys

My tank is now running for about 3 weeks. Everything is growing well (bacopa, moss and waterweed) except the hemianthus. I knew its a difficult plant and i may have ignored the light conditions, but im not sure. Im using a novolux led 80, with 6500 kelvin and 819 lumen. I have around 30 CO2 mg/l.

6.5 pH
4 kH
10 gH
0 NO2
24 c°

Im also using from dennerle a 3 components fertilizer (s7, e15, v30)

So after i read dozens of threads my guess is, that my light is nowhere close to be enough, right? The problem is, i only could upgrade my tank with 2 more novolux led, giving me 2500 lumen, which still isnt enough i guess? Can anyone give me some advice with this problem? I also think, there is blue algea oh the plants but im not sure and not experienced enough to be sure.

Thanks in advance and i hope to get some answers :)

Thanks i will have a look into that.

Almost, i got an "easystart" bacterial combi system and in a few days i will pour in the last of the three times 20ml as suggested in the manual.

I have only ever used Seachem Stability and that looks like it is a similar product.
I also used it at every water change and double dosed when cleaning the filter.

Forget about the pH as it will be all over the place during the Cycling process.

If you have any carbon in the filter remove it immediately as its not required during the Cycling process.
