200L out of 1400L is about 14% water change, possibly less as the tank is probably not full to the rim, and substratum and decorations occupy a lot of volume. So you may be changing about 10% weekly, or even less. IMHO that is way too little. I would not be comfortable changing any less than 50% weekly, ideally substantially more (50% twice a week?). You have some very nice fish and what looks like a very nice setup.
Good luck!

Agree with the above, the amount you are changing is not nearly enough to keep your tank from being an HITH disease soup.

Merci pour votre message . l'eau a augmenté en france mais je ferai 50% par semaine dorénavant. J'élève plusieurs espèces de cichla depuis 5 ans mais c'est la première fois que j'ai autant de maladie. qualité de l'eau du robinet? mes uv sont allumés 24h/24, mes défenses immunitaires diminuent ? Je ne comprends pas, l'année dernière c'était les taches blanches.
