I have been searching online for information about what ferts I should be adding to my tank but I am more confused than ever! I've been to greg watson's site, all the related sites that he provides but I still don't know what I'm doing... this is making me feel dumb!
Tank Details - I have a 20G planted tank with DIY CO2 and 3.2 WPG full spectrum lighting. I have some hair algae on my plants and some BGA in a small area at the front of the tank on the substrate. My plants are growing quickly using nothing more than Flourish tabs and Big Al's plant supplement but some of the leaves are turning see through.
PH is 7.5, Ammonia and Nitrite 0. I don't know the nitrate levels yet since my local Big Al's is out of the test kits at the moment.
I've been told the see through leaves are due to Iron deficiency and that I should be dosing KNO3 and NO3. But when i go to greg watson's site, there seems to be so much more...
I'd like to have happy, healthy plants but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Thank you in advance!
