I'm using a T5 light, one white one blue. Very low maintenance tank, running on a canister filter. But I still make sure that the livestocks get their nutrients such as Mg, Io, Strontium, Ca etc. Usin

Change water every week. Top up with DI water only.

Ensure your DI water is close to zero ppm.

Yes, i do 3L water change once per week with DI water. Top-up is using normal dechlorinated tap water.

I have epoxy resin...but it clouds the water when i use it. Using it sparingly.

Had the same problem when I started using them. If you knead it like 5 mins and let it settle for another 5 mins, it will help minimize it from breaking down so easily.

Hi bro, what are your tank dimensions? LxBxH?

Btw I don't see the fan in your FTS..it must have been well camouflaged.

Length wise is 2ft. I do not have the B and H with me at the moment. I'm using a Dymax cooling fan, at the left top in the photo.
