However, some tanks will still get it in a mild way as plants take time to adapt to the new environment.
This phase can often be skipped if the above steps to cycle the tank before hand and plant densely were taken. However, some tanks will still get it in a mild way as plants take time to adapt to the new environment. In CO2 tanks, this is generally a temporary 1-2 week phase if we keep other parameters stable! It is unhelpful to have irregularity in lighting, CO2 and multiple changes in water parameters at this stage.
