Hi I have used/use the product and haven't seen any ill effects on live stock.I had Pseudomugil furcatus spawn and hatch in tank x5 the dose in past(2009) too. However I am not aware if anything changed in regards of its composition over the years and it depends how(where)you dose it in the...

Hi yes complete fertilizer will contain NPK, Mg and all traces. Good example is Tropica Specialised fertilizer but thats costly. You can easily mix your own ferts using dry salts like many of us here do. Its pretty easy and very cost effective. Regards Konstantin

Hi I know what you saying in regards of cost.I am always doing low budget tanks due to my circumstances. On your latest pic plants don't look too bad tbh. The Pogostemon is really one of my favourite plants due to its ease of care. I can't grow all plants I want in my systems and have 3 strike...

Hi thanks for the information and the pics. Will you be able to post few full frontal tank shots too so we can see how your equipment is rigged. CO2 in large tank is not easy to master as distribution is more challenging. Im not CO2 user atm so will leave that for others to advise you on. You...

Hi Will you please provide more info on your system. Filtration,When Co2 comes on/off,when your lights come on /off,how you maintain the tank,what fertilizers you are using and how much/when you dosing, what critters are in there.Post loads of pics(videos). Having hard water on its own its not...

Hi The TDS is every ion present in the water.The actual reading is irrelevant as I dont know what exactly is in it .Actual reading matters only if U are adding minerals to RO water for examle in shrimp keeping. Regards Konsa

Hi U can add new plants.Just remember to do a waterchange after any large ish disturbing the substrate.I normaly do any plant moving,adding and fiddling in general on my waterchange days Regards Konsa

Hi If U have option try to increase oxygen levels in tank after the waterchange (via airstone or more surface ripple ( vigorous splashes)with filter outlet as the bacteria may reduce oxygen levels quite a lot. Regards Konsa

Hi If U have soft water fish.Try feeding Ca rich diet like Hikari crab cuisine or similar. I used to add Calcium Chloride Dihydrate when had the delusion that I had Ca deficiencies in the tank few years back. Regards Konsa

Hi No solution needed.Its just plug(turn on)and play whenever U need to take measurement. Regards Konsa

Hi I dont have the knowledge to get involved in the discussion but I find it fascinating too as I don't even bother testing my KH or GH or anything else (apart from PH for the CO2 profile when I was high tech)in my tanks for the last 6 years and my hobby is so much more enjoyable.I have what...

Hi The main thing that drops PH is CO2(acidic).One point drop is usually what everyone is trying to get KH=zero means no buffering capacity of your tank water hence the big drops U are having.Soils will have temporary buffering effect if waterchanging with tap water as they will take their fill...

Hi Your fertiliser is adding to the TDS too as are your fish.Its normal to get that sort of increase in a well fertilised and stocked tank.U dont need to control TDS unless U are breeding some finicky softwater shrimp or fish.There is no need to overcomplicate your life with that sort of...

Hi Thats great.U have option to be able to seed the new one with bacteria from your other tanks.Bacteria lives on all surfaces in the tank not only in the filter.Even handfull of gravel from existing tank in media bag in the new filter should really speed your cycle and save U some time Regards...

Hi How long the other tank has been running?If it has been few months U can rinse the sponge from its filter in your new tank Dont worry about making mess in it.That will seed all the bacteria U need and give them food, then just wait 4-6weeks for that bacteria to multiply to sufficient numbers...

Hi In planted tank the Nitrate is needed in decent ammount as Nitrogen is one of the Macro nutrients needed for plant growth.Many of us dose Nitrates on regular basis.There are few peole on here that have overdosed those in past (deliberately or not)with no ill effects on livestock. There is...
