What's up everyone! I am new to this hobby and would like some advice on how to keep a planted tank.I know there's a lot of information online but I am the type of person that needs a liittle bit more help. I have a 20g high tank 24"x12"x16" that was dirted 6 monts ago with gravel and 2 13W 6500K CFL bulbs that are on for 7hrs.I started with a few plants water sprite,rotala,drawf sag,anubias, and java fern.But this past 4 of july I was giving a lot of different plants wich I don't know the names of and I forgott to ask.My first set of plants are growing slowly but surely and the new plants have new growth. Some of the plants leaves have holes on them.I also have 5 zebra danios and 3 ottos. Some algea growing wich I remove manually but keeps coming back.I am not adding any fertilizers of any sorts and do a 30% water change every 2 to 3 weeks. I don't want my plants to grow fast but I do want them to keep growing healthy without holes and green.I want a algea free tank. My tank water levels PH 7.6 Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 5.0ppm. My tap water GH is 190ppm. Should I start adding ferts?Do weekly water change? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
