Hello everyone, so I have invested into some plants. I currently have amazon frogbit (about 2 weeks I believe) and it has grown and replicated tremendously quick with nice beautiful roots. I just added water wisteria (it was fully submerged when I bought it from the aquarium store, in a pot - not the plastic tube like petsmart). I put a root tab in the sand with the wisteria, but have never fed the frogbit. So my question, when do I start putting in food for plants, is there a rule of thumb or a water test parameter that I need to make sure is good?
I have just direct sand, nothing special added to it, which is the reason I did a root tab for the wisteria. I tried plants one time and ended up over feeding on the root tabs and plant food, combined with the eco complete substrate, and I ended up having WAYYYYY too much nutrients going on at one time and it ended up in bad algae. So I am heavily trying to avoid doing that again.
Thanks for the heads up everyone.
