Hi All
I`m currently running 300L tank with 2xT8 30W, 1xT5 39W and 1xT 54W (total 155W) and I`m planning to change this to 2xT8 30W and 4xT5 39W which will bring me up to 216W I`m adding co2 by glass diffuser (in-ilne diffuser in the post) + easycarbo.
I dose ferts with this regime.
In 1 liter bottle:
59 grams K2SO4 (Potassium Sulfate)
65 grams KNO3 (Potassium Nitrate)
6 grams KH2PO4 (Mono Potassium Phosphate)
41 grams MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulfate)
Micro Solution
In 1 liter bottle:
80 grams of CSM+B or equivalent trace element mix
each 5 mill/ day.
Most of the plants are echinodorus, bacopa, microsorum and aponogeton.
The tank is running for 2 months now and I still have few algie problems nothing major most of the are green ones on wood which will be eventually covered with mosses and die off hence there is no worry about them. I`m really do not wish to put lights before I will get the in-line diffuser as atm co2 goes from ceramic diffuser under power-head which I do not find working as it should.
Does any one have any suggestions for me before I will get on with lights.
p.s they will be switched on gradually probably there will be high light intensity period on with 2x30w + there is no reflectors in the hood for now but ordered some and will get them together with lights.
Thanks
