hi everyone,
I am sorry for all the questions lately im just really trying to get this right and a good environment for my fish as im going to keep this tank running for the long haul.
the tank is 6 feet long 18" tall and 18" deep according to aquarium calculator is roughly 385 litres,
bearing in mind there is wood rocks sand and a medium amount of plants and there is roughly 2" of height that dont have water in also,
so ive looked but would like a reccomended amount to dose if possible please guys
the only plants in the substrate are amazon sword, vallis, crypt wendtii green, others are 3 variations of moss /java/peacock/spikey and java ferns /needle/normal/windelov and anubias nana.
i decided to go with sand substrate over the akadama for looks mainly and the tank will be home to
4 discus
10 lemon tetra
4 blue rams
10 amano shrimp
1 nerite snail
pair of bristlenose pleco
im using 2 t5ho 6500k daylight 54watt 48" tubes running 5 hours daily from 5pm-10pm if this makes a difference
and sand substrate with osmocote and root tabs around planted plants
so all this considered could someone point me in the right direction of doseage amounts and daily/weekly ?
also my plants are not in the best way at present due to my own fault removing them from soil substrate when growing well and leaving in trays getting a little dry for 5 hours and re-filling with cold water
but they are getting better it would seem after daily water changes and i would just like to boost their health on anothers recomendation so please help a fellow out
