I think I'm still too amateur for IAPLC ... :| I would consider maybe AGA or other less prestige contest ...

Ages have passed since my last update ... I'm still with my hobby ... Take a glance at how my aquarium looks now. Hope you'll like it :) Some macro

Massive rescape. Inspired by George Farmer.

too low of light .. get reflectors and set up another T8 tube ... co2 - 30ppm ... (get dropchecker) get NPK fertilizers! this is most important!

such a thorough answer! ... I appreciate that, ceg4048 ...

nice ... thanks for reply ... I'll read more about that ... What strategy of fertilization are you using? EI or PMDD ? What amount of macro in ppm are you trying to keep? Are you using any algicides such as Exel, EasyCarbo, glutaraldehyde? What is your water pH? dGH, dKH? What do you think...

Alright ... I'm not trying to say that Redfield ratio is something important or most influential in regard of algae thriving ... As I know all this theory is based on observations of parameters of natural water pounds (reservoirs) ... and experimentally proven to be valid in aquariums ... But as...

Thanks for info source ... will read it certainly ... :) Cannot agree with you on some points ... Will reply you tomorrow ... My head is empty after yesterday ... :)

Dilute your ferts 1:1 (one part of fert: one part of RO Water) and you'll get 50%, therefore 1ml will add all your desired amount of stuff.

it's different situation ... I've got little, slow-growing biomass in contrast with this tank ... but still 10ppm of PO4 is way too much ... it's totally gonna violate REDFIELD ratio unless you put ~100ppm NO3 which is stick! :)

I'm really struggling with algae ... Even large doses of glutaraldehyde (same as seachem exel/easycarbo) don't seem to be helpful .. especially against green thread algae ... Left: tap water (intense blue colour). Right: my RO water Playing with dilutions I determined that PO4 conc. in tap...

hey guys ... just wanted to ask you what are your tap water parameters in manchester area ... I've recently checked for PO4 .. and I was shocked ... PO4 in my tap water is exceeding 2ppm ... that wasn't the case about year ago ... unfortunately, united utilities don't give any data regarding PO4...

I use glutaraldehyde. Basically the same compound found in Seachem Exel or Profito EasyCarbo. But you need to take super care diluting GA to desired concentration ... otherwise you'll lose everything! More info could be found in Google...

I've got some Staurogyne repens to sell for symbolical price ... Couldn't just ditch it .. If you interested check my ebay listing: {MOD EDIT}
