    My hair grass doesn't seem to be doing well. It looks pale rather than the solid green. Maybe that's why nitrates are accumulating.. Thanks for the tip!

    you don't need a bag as they are big enough to stay inside. What's your budget? and your tank size?

    How to measure current? On the surface, it's about the strength of a wash basin tap at 1/3 open.

    I have some duck weeds though. It went from about 6 to now I dunno how to count. Haha

    Duckweed is blocking out light perhaps.Current seems ok.Generally measured by flow rate of filter but is variable.Lighting?And 5 gallons or 20 litres should be min for shrimp as theyre more sensitive than fish in general.

    The duck weeds are only covering about 1/15th of the surface and being pushed around by the current, so light is getting through. Lighting using a LED light, white and blue lights, only got the product model X5.

    As for tank size, I only am allowed that 1 foot space.. sigh..

    Attached a photo. On picture the green looks nice, but in actual, it's more brown and pale green.
