Evening everyone.
I’m new to planted aquariums. Finding it a bit of a minefield but enjoying learning something new everyday. Finally getting my parameters within range so hopefully my plants will start to thrive rather than just surviving.

I have a 200l tank with community fish that I have been running for about 7years so my tank was cycled before I added plants about 2 weeks ago. Currently I am getting a low reading for magnesium and iron. Been advised to regularly keep dosing iron until it rises to 0.1mg/l.

Look forward to reading threads to improve my success with plants.

Have a look at the <"Duckweed Index thread">, linked in my signature, it separates the <"important bits"> from the less important bits.

Cheers Darrel
