Lovely looking tank there. Well done.

More info would be great, what filtration? how are you diffusing the co2 internal or external reactor?

How long has this been set up?

Cheers Gordon.

I think your tank tells you your doing everything right.

That must work out farly expensive take a look here http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/allinone.htm buying the dry ferts and then making your own solution will work out far cheaper.

I have been using James all in one solution for about 2 weeks and all good so far, and a fair few others here use it i believe.

Cheers Gordon.
 
I spend way to much time in the tank as it is i think il just stick to buying it any way i know the man in the shop quite well and he gives me a good discount :rolleyes: iv tried changing it befor and the plants didnt like it to much.
