How do I fix algae outbreak in my Dutch tank without water changes?

Reduce lighting period temporarily, increase CO2 if using pressurized system, spot-treat with liquid carbon, and ensure adequate plant mass for nutrient competition.

What causes cloudy water in Dutch aquascapes?

Cloudy water typically results from bacterial bloom during ecosystem establishment. Add beneficial bacteria supplement, reduce feeding, increase surface agitation, and be patient - clarity will return in 3-7 days.

How do I handle plant melting in a Dutch tank setup?

Plant melting is normal during transition. Remove only completely dead/brown parts, maintain consistent lighting schedule, continue fertilization routine, and expect new growth in 2-3 weeks.

What should I do if fish show stress in a no-water-change system?

Fish stress may occur during transition. Increase surface agitation for oxygen, reduce feeding temporarily, test for ammonia spikes, and consider adding stress coat product if needed.

When should I be concerned about pH swings in Dutch tanks?

Monitor pH daily during first 2 weeks. Add crushed coral for buffering if pH drops below 6.0, increase aeration if CO2 causes excessive drops, and test KH for stability indicators.
