Thanks Sarpijk

Much appreciated as always, Darrel.

Hi folks, I've just found and opened up an old tub of TNC trace elements. Whats the chances it is EDTA Chelated and can be used in a DIY all in one fert? I'll be buying the necessary Ascorbic acid. Thanks.

Check out the F1 Discus in one of the tanks that Tom Barr created for a client.. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5269&hilit=behemoth They are healthy and beautiful.

Couldn't these vivid green colours just be due to the increase in the magnesium? After all, it is magnesium that gives chorophyll it's green colouration (like iron gives in red blood cells their colour). Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious.

Thanks for working that out for me, Darrel. Much appreciated.

Could you dose the Calcium Nitrate Anhydrous with dosing spoons? Would it be roughly the same as dosing KNO3? For example - 80-150 litre tank Monday 1/4 tsp KNO3 1/16 tsp KH2PO4 So, on the next macro dosing day (Wednesday), could you add 1/4 tsp of Ca(NO3)2, instead of the KNO3? This thread...

Amen :angel:

Agreed.

Re: Paul's 200L, "Punishment of Luxury" Surely that's down to ammonia. A high% of plant biomass has gone and therefore there is a reduced rate of ammonia absorbtion in the tank. If ammonia isn't being utlized as quickly as before (by plants and filter) then the algae spores have more of a...

I don't believe it's the profito. It was my understanding that plants uptake trace elements quite quickly, therefore they couldn't cause a pH drop because they're not in the water column. Not 100% sure on that one though.

Re: easyvarbo affecting vallis nana I'm dosing 5ml of EasyCarbo a day on my 125litre which the back is lined up with 50+ vallis nana. No ill affects as of yet!

Low phosphates I thought.

Oh ok. I understand. Cheers for the help Andy, much appreciated. Will soon be putting up pics of the tank when all the plants are in :wink:

I thought that too, but I've got ADA soil which holds alot of N and P therefore the water runs more lean. So then might not need to dose as much.

Hey. I was looking for some help on what dosing regime I should be doing. Tank - Juwel Rio 125 (125litres, 33USgallon) Lighting - 4x18W CO2 - 2kg fire extinguisher, Rhinox 2000 at 1 bubble per second Substrate - ADA Aqua soil Malaya Ferts - TPN+ Water changes - 30% weekly. Regarding plants...
