I have recently upgraded my aquarium to a "high tech" fire extinguisher set up and the plants are visibly healthier but there is one thing which bothers me...
I have never seen any of the plants "pearl", does this matter too much as the plants are doing well?.
Below is a list of what i have in my tank, i would be greatfull if anyone thinks i may be "missing a trick"
ph: 6.8
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate: 20 ppm (my tapwater is 10ppm!)
phosphate: 1ppm (again already in my tap water)
Fe: 0.25mg/l
10ml of Ferka k divided over a week (daily)
gh: very hard
kh : 200ppm (according to my nutrafin test kit, i repeated the test twice but with the same result.
1/10th of a teaspoon of iron powder 3 times a week
Lighting is 1.8 wpg
25% water change weekly
half the recommended amount of fish inches per gallon.
the K.h bothers me a bit too, any ideas?
Thanks guys
