A veritable Tarzanian jungle if I don't say so myself. This is so much
fun! http://aquaria.info/members/ervis/Feb27.html

I still measure nitrates and phosphate so I can tailor my fert dosing
to achieve the proper NPK ratio. I seem to get enough phosphate from
fish food so I don't dose that. I was extremely pleased to see a
perfect zero, bright yellow, on my nitrate test. That is the clue I've
been waiting for, that the plants are consuming large quantities of
nitrates. Now my dosing will be basically what Tom Barr suggests: 1/2
tea KNO3 twice weekly, 1/4 KCI tea twice weekly, 15ml trace twice
weekly, 50% water change weekly. I will no doubt vary the mix in the
future as the plants continue to grow, and I may need some tweaking to
find that perfect 8:1:16 ratio. Today when I get home I'll prune a
bunch and replant the tops, and begin to landscape a bit too, to start
to effect form.
