Ok new to the hobby as a whole, but understand the basics for keeping fish, but not when it comes to plants, so here are my parameters and what I want to know is, where do I stand for general growing as im aware it has an affect on plants growth
Rough overview
125 litres
2 watts per gallon
soil substrate/gravel cap
going for low requirement plants like ferns, mosses, crypts etc (only looking at easier maintained species)
So here goes whats coming from my tap
PH - 7-7.5
GH - 240 (12 drops, sorry not sure the technical terms)
KH 90
Ammonia 0.25 (wasnt quite as yellow as what was coming from my tank)
Nitrites 0
Didnt test nitrates necessary?
Basically for growing plants in a low tech plant how am I looking? anything of concern there? im aware that adding plants and my soil may alter the ph and balance, I think the soil will lower the PH (it says 6-7 on the bag) and also with waste etc
Any help or guidance is much apprecited 🙂
