i have a 55 galllon aquarium that i just cant get co2 for
so, to acomidate that, i have 2 t-12 lights-1 planted aquarium light that is 40w and one daylight that is 40w to equal
80w
this is about 1.6wpg
so i was thinking with low light levels i dont nedd to dose co2
i do want to start dosing macro nutrients, though, when i saw that my nitrate reading is down to 3-4ppm
i have a pound of potassium nitrate and a pound of potassium phosphate
i didnt by anything to dose potassium because i was told that the potassium in the 2 previous chemicals is enough
my question is -is this going to be enough to sustain my plants?
i have only ever used seachem flourish, and once i found out hat it was trace, i had an idea why some of my plants were showing deficincies
i also looked on the sight Aqua Botanic, and they have a diagnosing problems article that explains some deficiencies
nitrogen and phosphate are the deficincies that match my tank
