Oh forgot about the food. I feed a pinch of flake and a pinch of shrimp pellets once a day.
One other thing comes to mind, being a large tank it took me near 45 minutes to round up all 13 danios I took back and this maybe added stress to the tank ? Although i was losing the Cardinals before this.
First a backround on my setup.
90 gal planted
CO2 injected
Ferts once a week ( florish, pot, phos all recomended dose but only once a week )
Running 3 months
Florite substrate
undergravel heating as well
Eheim 2028 canister filter
78 degress
Water tested once a week with all good results...
You should really have a complete test kit.... You might try to find the API Master Test Kit. About 35 bucks in my neck of the woods. Should also read up on the bacteria cycle of aqauriums to help you understand where different parts of the cycle ( Ammonia, NitrIte, NitrAte...... ) are coming...

So I should be using something on top of the Flourish I take ? Read some posts about ferts late last night. None of it made much sense, was probably to tired while reading it all.
Whats the short answer to knowing when I need more than just Flourish.... Should I be starting something else...
I had a Albino Clawed Frog in a old tank some years ago. I know I can't get one again for my 90gal planted based on the size and such that he was. Is there a frog that does work well in a planted community tank ?
Here is a pic of my old friend..
Well I keep seeing people speak of Flourish, mostly the excel stuff. I was given a bottle of Flourish ( regular stuff ) at my LFS. So today while I was there grabbing a few things I thought I would see if they carried the excek stuff, and they sure do. There was also several other types of...
Purrbox just wanted to say thanks for staying in touch with my log and helping me along... Think you may be the only one reading it lol....
