Have been cutting back on the excel to see if it helps the vallisneria come on a bit more. It seem to have random small amounts of melt, but is certainly spreading.

Filter rinsed in tank water during water change tonight. Not too dirty, but definitely some detritus and and cloudy water after rinsing and squeezing of sponge.

Water seemed bit cloudy today, but think it is due to some slight over feeding.

Slight rise in ammonia today, again probably due to overfeeding!!

Frogbit has pretty much disappeared from the tank. Imagine not enough Nitrates/ammonia for surface plant.

Will see if it comes back whilst not using the excel.
