Thank you for the thorough answer!!

  1. I know I DSM'ed too short - I had to cut it short because my driftwood started growing mold (and I read that if the mold penetrates the wood it will be only good for my garbage can).

  2. How do I "dose more nitrate" ?

  3. I am keeping the liquid that checks the saturation of the CO2 at the limegreen level. This is what I have. Is that not detailed enough?

  4. I have the test kit. Just tested again and I have Nitrites and Nitrates at 0 ppm :(. - so how do I make more? I'm giving the shrimp food so maybe put more?

  • The tank specs are on the first post I linked on top. The tank is only a 5 gal. Light is a Finnex Stingray Aquarium LED Light 16".

this has been the most helpful comment ever, thank you so much. I had no idea it was my dropchecker that mattered - I assumed it was all about the tank chemistry/kH. Right now it is placed opposite the diffuser about 2 in from the surface. here is the diffuser/drop checker i am using:

So I want to keep my checker at yellow but make sure my fish aren't struggling?

:) if you have a co2 checker (this thing: http://www.amazon.com/ISTA-Indicator-Drop-Checker-MONITOR/dp/B00PRMCZFY/ref=sr_1_10?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1462586474&sr=1-10&keywords=co2+drop+checker+glass) when the solution turns green then that's the best time to have lights at full blast. I have a planted 24/7 so the lights are at their brightest just after indicator turns green (12:30ish) :)



Explanation from Ista website:



Green color - This is the best PH value of your tank



yellow color - Too acidic - reduce the input of your CO2 gas



Blue color- Too alkaline - increase the input of your CO2 gas
