ok- read pg one... he asked something... aqua has same book... s.o.b., it is my contention, found it cheaper than i did. ummm... cannibals something something.
i looked at the pics n ur summary...
my first thought was wind, too... confirmed a lil, when i saw a couple fans n where. i have same issues, near the fans n prefer em, on crackrock settings, too...
umm... i dunno coco, but, "NEVER DRIES"... got gnats, yet?
is he supposed to NEVER b dry?
also- NEVER DRY AND E V E R Y feeding... gets 4-500... ummm... checkin that runoff? i dunno of any style, that doesn't sometimes just take plain old, ro hho. ummm... buildup? i know dark green, under any lighting, when i c it... cause i struggle with it.
um... ph- just because u put it in at whatever ph... doesn't make it, necessarily, the ph of ur junk. aqua? sera?
temp in the teepee? i see "canoeing/cigaring" and right before we fry our poop- they look REAL PURDEE...
and angle (folding, at crease/main vein/whatchamacallit) towards the gods... and THEN THEY DIE. so between possible cigaring n all the rest- I'm voting back to basics, 101 for your REAL stats, commin off the runoff, the diox, the ph/ppms and ... before u spend on fighting the problem- see if we can get a link, from aquarockstar, for the pdf, so u can scratch your head, within nanoseconds.
