Nice stuff. Loving how fast you work!

What type of wood/how fresh is it?

How deep is that tank hovmoller? I am loking at going LED but don't know how deep they will penetrate.

I started at 1kg of each but then orderd another 5 kg of the calcium carbonate and magnesium sulphate. ( I think that was them)

That tank looks fantastic. You do some seriously nice set ups.

If you are refering to my comment, I googled PMDD and the first page came up with that. I had no idea it was poor mans something something.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder?

:gpo2:

I would go with two, only because it gives you more angle's to work with.

I have green spot then. I need to use my credit card for removal.

Is this the dust algae? I know I currently have: Cyano- have reduced light and raised light. BBA- have stopped playing with the Co2. ( Should the drop checker take a couple hours to go from blue to green each day) Brown algae- riding it out as the start of the establishment Green spot on glass- will do what was mentioned. Pictured algae settling on leaves- Have a second and maybe a third water mover on the way.Hopfully that will stop all the dead spots. I have also got 5 otos on order to nibble away at the algae and will get another 5 or 10 after christmas. Any other thoughts? Is my daily EI theory too much or will it eventually make the plants super happy?

so green dust and green spot are different?

and welcome!

http://www.hydroponics.co.nz/ Is where I get mine from as do other people. I use to use the Seachem range but it got too pricey for my liking. I am very novice when it comes to plants so my ideas are fairly simple,but my thoughts are if you get the light,C02 and ferts balanced all should be well. There is PLENTY of plant geeks on here that I am sure could offer advice.

Thanks for the chart, it was good reading. Nitrate from the tap never comes up with anything,but ALL of my tanks come up with high readings despit doing at least one 50% WC on all of them, and often more. Yes I have green dust. (Green spot?) Is that saying something is lacking or too strong? Planting wise it is begining to get relativly dense IMO.

Can someone please tell me if my dosing amounts are going to cause an issue to my fish or give me super strong algae or anything along those lines. Tank is 750L, 50% WC each Monday, 8 hours of lighting via MH, injected C02 at required level. Ferts daily of: Potassium phosphate: 1/4 tsp Magnesium sulphate: 3 tbl spoons Calcium chloride: 3 tbl spoon Iron chelate 1/2 tsp Aquatic mix 1 heaped tsp I havn't used potasium nitrate as my nitrate level is staying high (I guess I over feed). Is potassium nitrate just to raise nitrate or does it have other functions? Thoughts on dosing levels? Thanks all

Wow, they are tots amazeballs! I never knew they flowered until last summer.

Haha, you are not the first person to say that.I have a few scatered about the yard, but this is the only one that has properly taken. I did not realsie the flowers were nocturnal. Thats what I thought last year. I didn't have a camera at the time and by the time I had it had dropped off. ( 3 days from memory) So as soon as I saw the bit of fluff growing I knew I had to take a day to day journal of it.

Thes one at your mums or all cactus? You are welcome :cr3:

This time last year I had no idea what was going on with my cactus. This year I know better: My cactus is the one of the few things in my garden I actually care about, so it gets fish water every now and then.

Smart thinking :thup:

Great peacock

:gpo2:

Very true!

How big are they currently? I think 126L is pretty small and would be wanting to upgrade now.
