Hi,
Just introduced myself over here
http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=163&start=240#p81081
Basically I've just started setting up a new planted tank, story behind it is in my hello above. The tank is a Juwel measuring 100cm * 30cm * 40cm with the standard Juwel hood containing a single 1" * 36" 30 watt daylight tube - timed to 10 hours a day. I've installed an off the shelf substrate (florapro) & small gravel above it. Internal filter/heater, lump of bog wood & I've planted up (about 2/3 way across the tank). The other part of the tank will have an established piece of bogwood with plant on it - to be transfered from another tank once I have this setup running in a satisfactory way to accept it. I've ordered a Neutrafin CO2 setup (and now realise it won't be big enough - DOH! - time to save up & get a pukka CO2 setup me thinks ). I did all that before discovering this site
Anyhow...
Think I've worked out the wpg to about 1wpg (low?) So I can work out a dose rate etc from the tutorial here
http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1211
Can someone advise me where to buy the raw salts from, & typical quantities to buy, to make up the dosing brew?
Big TIA for any help/advice received.
Gary
