Sounds like you got it sorted out. The HC is definitely adjusting to a submersed setup.

Yeah, from what I've learned you really just need to make sure your CO2 is balanced out. How are you dosing the water column? In theory your AS should be giving the roots non-limiting nutrients. Just wondering if you are dosing EI to the water column as well.

I think you're on the right path! Just need a little patience to give things time to get rollin!

I have to agree with those two here. Having plenty of plants to start the tank will make your life much easier. If you have a bunch of plants, have good CO2 diffusion, and start dosing your full lineup of EI then hopefully you will be successful :)

I want to try dry dosing using their dosing measurements to see how it works out. I'm not trying to hit those target levels. I'm just saying I don't see a need to dose Potassium Nitrate when I have excess Nitrates already. So I'm wondering if Potassium sulphate could be substituted. They do say...

Just read the opening post on that link.

My Nitrate levels are already at about 40 by the end of the week. That's over the desired target level for EI. The other thing I'm wondering is when he says for 40-60 Gallon aquariums 1/8 (10mL) of Micro Mix. Does that mean 1/8 teaspoon dry or 10mL mixed with water? I would like to dose all of...

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/fertilizing/15225-estimative-index-dosing-guide.html I decided to read the opening post to understand EI Dosing. I'm probably going to switch to it this week, considering my dosing solutions are almost out. I read the dosing amounts for a 40-60 gallon...

They definitely have a really nice colour to them! I take it they proved safe for aquarium use?

Looks awesome! Love that Africana substrate. It'll be a great tank for some shrimp.

Excited to see what you have planned for this rescape!

Honestly that's probably what's happening. They just die. Without anything else happening. I hate it :p.

I'm wondering whether the Cryptocryne wendtii will grow low, or high... I've seen many videos where it could grow close to the substrate, or straight upwards. Is Crypt wendtii de witt 'red' similar? That's the closest I can find on the site I'm ordering from. The reason I'm wondering how it will...

Well here's an update on the tank! After checking my parameters last week, I'm finally getting readings of roughly 20ppm for Nitrate, and I'm now in the 3-5ppm range for Phosphate. I removed the Rotala, which was on the left side of the tank, and I'm planning to fill in that area with something...

I would definitely convert over! I'm thinking of trying one out myself in the near future.
