Sure! Sadly I don't know anyone in Spain owning one of these...It would be nice to have PAR readings for this tank. That way we can know something for certain. Someone willing to borrow PAR meter?
Thank you Faizal... I am just dosing K (about 20 ppm weekly) and micros (about 0.1 ppm Fe and other things). However, the whole substrate is Amazonia, thus nitrates and phosphates are being released. But I am not adding macros. For the moment it seems to work and plants are showing no signs of deficiencies, even with what I guess is medium-high light. My Co2 has been increased to 1.5 bps more or less, to make sure the CO2 demand is met as the biomass has doubled.Jordi ...the tank is looking amazing. The plants are looking so healthy too. What do you mean by lean fert dosing? And how do you measure how much you need to dose in this regime?
Yep, but no one will ever know if this is happening in my tank, therefore I just watch the plants. For the moment it seems that phosphates (or other nutrients) are not a problem as I have steady and healthy growth. I won't be adding anything until I see any sign. Honestly I am quite happy with the resultbut often bind phosphates effectively reducing their level down to zero
This might just be the reason people like it so much. Maybe phosphates in water dont cause algae if co2 is perfect. But many of us dont have perfect co2 and no P in the water column might be best. Just rambling around sorry.Jordi, there are many witnesses that active soil substrate as Amazonia, may provide nitrates to the water, but often bind phosphates effectively reducing their level down to zero. Just a thing you might want to keep your eye on it.
Thanks... Not sure if the Rotala will recover, as I trimmed all the stems to the ground and most of them were completely melted... Let's see if they have developed good roots and the can grow from nothingHi Jordi, Ho No Why ho why cannot people understand simple Instructions ?? Sorry about the shrimp loss that's sad .
Scape is still looking good though and in a few week it will look fantastic again. Do you think the Rotala red will recover ??
