I tell you I could do with suggestions re tank cleanliness too! A small tank
at only 125L, regularly cleaned, 40L a week, not overstocked, live plants
and yet it looks filthy. Ornaments and glass are covered in the 'green
stuff'!
Fish are healthy and water tests all come back sound. I originally thought I
was overfeeding but this seems not to be the case.
Ideas on the back of a postcard,,,,,,

Add elmi-phos by tmc to the filter - it will strip out the phosphate
