Hi All
I've been running my aquascape for a while and wondering what the best way to help some of the stem plants get more / better nutrients. In particular my ludwigia repens.
I'm running full EI with co2 injection, but wondering what I can do to improve the substrate. I've changed my mind a few times and moved the plants arround and they have ended up growing in fine quartz sand.
what's the best to boost the soil without ripping all the plants out and replacing it.. I haven't yet got to the point where I want to rescape.
Option 1
Buy a bag of ADA Aquasoil Amazonia or similar and sprinkle onto top, mixing where possible
Option 2
Buy root tabs or I read somewhere you could freeze osmocote pink in too small blocks and insert arround plants.
Option 3
Make up some home made clay ballls from Montmorillonite Clay and powdered seaweed, I'm not sure if there available commercially..
Thanks in advance
