Hi Folks,
Haven't been on here for a very long time.
I have a 125 litre tropical planted tank with custom LED lighting and CO2 injection. I currently use Seachem Flourish (+ Flourish N + Flourish P, as required) but I sometimes wonder if I should also be using root feeding in the substrate. In the tank, I have several kinds of Echinodorus, Cyperus helferii and H. corymbosa. The only plant that grows well and looks healthy is the latter of these. Rarely do I see any pearling from the other plants. CO2 is around 30ppm (when stabilized) as indicated by drop checker and JBL CO2 Direct Test Kit. Lighting appears bright to the human eye but I cannot currently measure PAR. This tank has been running for eight months.
Previously, I had a tank in which root tabs made a world of difference to E. bleheri. I used the TNC brand, which provide both macro- and micro-nutrients.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
