QUOTE(myak9 @ Oct 7 2011, 03:05 PM) wonder if it's the potassium that I put (I feel itchy when the solution kena my hand)... What brand of potassium you are using? Usually K will not do any harm to fauna...perhaps your other parameter may cause the issue if white spot disease...it might bcos of temperature a bit low, not enough aeration or over feed salt and heater also can treat white spot |

Make sure the LED lights is at least within the 6500K spectrum, cause not all LED are suitable for planted tanks. Good luck... Tank dimensions - length: 40cm height: 25 cm width: 25cm.
