I know you said someone told you to do ro/di changes but are you? What kind of system. How long have you been running your lights? Is it next to a window?

Most hobbyist quit because it get expensive or they have overwhelming algae issue. Stick to it we are here for you...
I agree with both, I have just had this problem. Luckly they told me how to nip it before it got too bad. Lights. My tank had been running from Jan. on, but I had a problem with the lights and being a 1st time E Bay user, Lights came late and they where pretty so I left them on too long.

less lights, right food and amount!!, and ;
don't give up on a World that will give you so much
