Hi.. I have been keeping a co2 injected planted tank for almost a year now. In the first 4 months plant growth was dense and robust probably from the nutrients leached from Ada Amazonia. However after that I started dosing dry ferts..
As per ei dosing..
100 gallon tank
So.. 10 teaspoons of kno3
4 teaspoons of kh2po4
25 teaspoons of mgso4
This is mixed in 600 ml of water and dosed 50 ml every alternate day with seachem flourish inbetween. Then I had burnt my rotala.. when I tested my water.. nitrates were of the scale more 80ppm and phosphates were more than 16 ppm. So I reduced the dosing by half.
Tank dimensions.. 120× 60x 53 cm
Filters.. eheim 2217 and sunsun 303b both spray bars facing forwards along the length of tank
Circulation.. sunsun jvp 102.. 3000l/h placed on the right back top corner getting nice circular flow along the tank.
Co2.. in line reactor.. with green indicator
Lights.. 4 x 54w (2 6500k, 1 10000k and 1 3000k) 2 lights for 4 hrs and 4 lights for 3 hrs with 2 hour siesta.
I have got good growth with crypts, anubias and flame moss.
So with the weak breaking stems and loss of leaves i am thinking whether it's insufficient light.. am I rite.. Pls help.
Will post pics today.
