30 gal.
80% planted, no florite substrate, just small fine gravel 110watt lightning Injected CO2 9 neon tetras, 4 angels, 1 sae, 4 fast growers, 5 swords, 2 large, 3 smaller 2 slow growers between 1/4 and 1/2 water changes /week fertilize with tropica master grower 15ml / week 4 ml of liquid iron / week 3 ml of potassium / week Does this sound like enough fertilizer with this setup? I am increasing the Iron because it's not high enough, but anything else you can see that I should do to improve this? add anything? take anything out? I just don't want a ton of algae in the tank.. I'm new with this 110 watt light and have to be careful what I add and of how much.. Any suggestions would be great.. Mike |

ble.rogers.com... Any suggestions would be great.. KH ? GH ? PO4 ? NO3 ? pH ? fertilizing is not a matter of how many gallons your tank has, it's a matter of how much water you change, what's in your tap water and how much pl nts you have to prune. example - to the extreem : If your orignal water contains all the macro's and micro's needed, you do no water changes and the plants aren't growing ... you don't have to fertilise anything because nothing is extracted from the system. |

Just pay close attention to the label on the new fertilizer and follow
the directions. Keep up with your water change schedule. I change 50% once and sometimes twice a week. Your fish are used to it and you probably do not have many dissolved impurities in your water. If you stop the water changes wait a month and start it back up you may loose your fish. Vicki |
