So ...
Otto changed its position again.
🙂
I removed the branches, some may have noticed them in the other tank; I did it mostly because I had a rhizo bloom.
Mounted the surface extractor on a hang on, dunno why I didn't do it before ...
🙄 that translated into more flow so I don't really need another filter.
I'm back using tap water, tired of mixing RO with stuff. After rising the PH/KH from 5-6/0 I had the algae bloom, more or less expected but I'm kinda happy the bacteria is back on track, no more dirt floating around, clogged hoses etc.
With the algae things were kinda fast, 2-3 water changes a week, large amounts of ferts after and some Algexit that could've worked, dunno, but it never appeared after removing the algae, doing a large water change and dosing the stuff.
I'm also kinda happy after using PPS instead of TPN+, dunno the difference of NPK ratios and quantities but plants seem to be happier (my wallet also), some already blushing.
🙂
Some new plants added but I'll tell you about them in a next episode.
Ohh and before I forget, I changed the ada diffuser with this atomizer that works a treat.
Sorry for the video, hard to shoot it behind the tank.
Cheers,
Mike
