Dont stop thinking!!! :stop:

You dont stop creating impressive aquascapes.

Thanks for share all of your aquascaping thinkings:woot:
 
Beautiful scape! Love the way you put things together.

I have some supposedly red plants in my tank that haven't become red yet. I'm dosing EI standard way (20 ppm of NO3). You said red plants must have lower N to show its colors. In your approach what would be the approximate N concentration?

I'm folowing you on this.

Abraços from Brazil.

With EI fert you need very strong light to achieve reds on certain plants.
I dose around 3 ppm per week of nitrates.
If i make some tests on the tank i Will have almost 0 nitrates and phosphates on the water column.

I see. I'm going to dose a little bit less nitrates and phosphates each week and watch how plants react. I don't think all plants will do well with 0 phosphates and nitrates since they are known important macronutrients.

Maybe you have some of these nutrients in your tap water.

Anyway I guess there is no general rule. What works for you may not work on my tank. But thanks I will make this experiment.

Ok.
I only use reverse osmose water.
The plant plants go on the subtstrate looking for food.
This is why a good substract system is needed.
No need to have a lot of no3 and po4 on water column. The only nutrient present on water column is K.
This is the how ada makes their fertilization scheme.

Yeah I agree. There are many approaches that work well. Just by looking at your tank I have no doubt this method delivers great results.

This tank is awesome Luis, as usual... it's amazing how it looks so nice even at early stages. Looking forward to the final layout
