Thanks, I'm new to this hobby so I always appreciate such comments. :)

I'll keep the journal updated each week.
 
Hi All,

It seems that my monte carlo is yellowing a bit, older leaves have holes and GSA. I've tested my PO4 and I'm at 0!

Should I add some ADA Brighty special lights?

Thanks
 
Thank you, I'm only dosing brighty K daily at the moment.

I will use ada step 2 at month 3 but I didn't use step 1 for an better algae control.

I've ordered ada special lights as it contains po4/k/azote, any other suggestion? Thanks
 
That´s why I like this forum!:)

Thanks, next week I'll start dosing step 1. (And take some decent pics instead of these Iphone ones :banghead:)
 
Yes sir, thanks sir!

(1 full pot of 'monte carlo' and 1/2 pot of eleocharis 'mini')
