Don’t mind my snapper she’s personable so she’s just saying hi, not reaching for air lol, but I don’t know what these flakes are and when you scoop water and poor it it into a sink the flakes stick to the container afterwards… any ideas?

I’m hanging the light on pvc, when I asked ai it said mixing to much or from heavy dosing which makes sense because I have been dosing for ammonia
Please post video using bright white light intensity, no blue and assure glass is clean when doing this

Amonnia and nitrite where a little high because it’s a newer tank and I’m dosing “safe” by seachem along with “microbacter7” by brightwell aquatics
Safe, prime does not remove ammonia as bottle applies. Water changes do that. Bacter is good but you want biological capabilities through filtration in place. How is this pond filtered?

Another good reason to ignore AI. None of that makes sense in this context.

I can't tell much from the picture.
