Where are the fish? ROFL!! Looks like your plants are taking off! Nice
What is NO3:PO4 now? 5:1 sounds a little risky.. isnt it 15-23:1 the "good range"?
Just trying to clarify for the readers a little.. Looking Good!

Thanks.

I'm at NO3 ~12ppm, PO4 ~2ppm after water change dosing, but then I let NO3 crash (I only bump it up to ~10) while I add pinches (literally) of KH2PO4 every other day. I do this just because for months I left PO4 alone while only messing with KNO3, CO2, trace, and KCl. After adding PO4 I quickly get lots of pearling, whether I do it at the middle or end of my main tank's photoperiod, so I roll with it. I'm usually at 75% pwc/wk over two changes to make sure nutes don't get away from me, while I learn effects of individual nutrients, btw. (I follow EI.)

Re fish: I like the little critters, so they can be hard to see. I only have 4 diurnal non-bottom/glass dwelling fish, psuedomugil gertrudae, and theyre 1" if that. Here's a fuzzy pic of a male to give an idea of size. If you see something small and fuzzy in the pics, its probably a critter
