2 weeks in and things seem to be going OK, want this to be a warts and all so will document my good and maybe questionable decisions along the way...
I've got very soft water (1.6dGH according to water report) so I decided to add 2g of calcium sulphate at the last water change, something I didn't bother with in the last tank as shrimp seemed to be doing fine and breeding well. This has coincided with my frogbit now bouncing back and the yellowing stopped
Doing a pH profile today and tomorrow to fine tune co2, currently at 3bps with co2 on 2 hours before lights and lights at 15% for 6 hours, dosing full EI
Few small holes in pinna, beckettii struggling a bit, buces doing OK with a slight bit of yellowing on a couple of leaves
No algae in sight so far
