    Exact params please, and it is normal for BTAs with bubbles to loose their bubbles.

    we need a lot more info.

    300 watts of light... on what size tank? 10 gallons or 500 gallons? What are your water chemical parameters? The more info you can provide, even if you think it's no relevant, the more quickly people who know about these things can help you.


    I keep a file on my computer called tank notes, that I update as needed... usually when I post with a problem... this is it, updated today:
