Nice one sari.
I'm still conditioning mine but that article has got me thinking.
That's the trouble with this forum, it always gets me thinking. But that's what I like about it. I kept fish for years but never had any success with plants until now, but it's turned most of my fishkeeping thinking on it's head.
Examples are:
Must aereate the water. No I mustn't, I'll stick some co2 in it instead.
Excess nutrients cause algae. No they don't. They'll feed it if it's there, but do not cause it.
Must keep my Nitrates down. No I mustn't, I'll put some in to feed the plants.
3x flow for filtration, how about 10x flow.
Must try and keep algae out of my tank. No I mustn't, I'll put some in to feed my shrimps.
Must test my water, no I won't, I'll dose EI and chuck my test kits in the bin.
Oh, and the 20% water change per month, how about 50% min. water change per week
Must dechlorinate, now I'm not so sure. :?
All in all a great learning curve which I am enjoying, oh and my plants are looking the business
