Yeah, use less fertiliser if its liquid. It SOO easy to over use, I found out the hard way and my tank got covered in algae. The PH is slightly acidic but shouldn't cause a problem but if it changes suddenly or fluctuates that could cause a problem for them and shock the system.

Yeah I was aware that our tap water is acidic and very soft. I accidentally overdose big time the first 2 times I put it in putting 5 ml per 20 liters instead of 1 ml, I misread the label, not sure if it lingers in the water after that?

I'm not sure honestly :P But I wouldn't keep adding it. Also if you have activated carbon in your filter that could removed some of the stuff in the fertiliser itself
