so i received some new plants via the internet and they were amazing with great roots unlike the lfs i have been getting plants which have just been dying of lol......

so as you could see in the picks everything is new .....i am also getting some watersprite and maybe others which i will place on the left side of the tank...i am removing the rock and putting a nice piece of driftwood in as soon as its done soaking .....5 more days......

i was going to put the sprite in the left corner and the java and anubias on the drift wood....

i would love some suggestions from you all and will post some new pics when i get the new plants in next week and the driftwood should be done

hey john im ordering the auto doser i just got two of the mini jets for 38 with shipping...e-bay (best price i found) all the others were around 45 with shipping...

but my question was where do you order your dry fertz from and what do i buy

 

[mfdrookie516]

This should walk you through it- http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/what-pps-to-order-150299.html

 

[bsdryder7]

right on that helped me out a lot ......ordered all 1 Ibs of everything.......now off to target to find some 1 gall drums or whatever they are lol

 

[bsdryder7]

so happy now im waiting for the mini jets to get here but i screwed up and ordered Macro Micro Nutrient Mix 1 lb contains 1 part each of Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, Plantex CSM+B. See mixing and dosing instructions in the FAQ's.

instead of the straight csm+b (oops) so i have time to order it again lol

what should i do about this?? can i us it

have to wait to fill up the co2 till tomorrow after work but ordered some plants
so i will post some pics after i clean the glass and do a pwc

 

[mfdrookie516]

Thats the right stuff... just not that great of a deal since its 1lb total and 1lb of each costs right at double, and you get 4x as much. I don't use P, but I'm going to start. That will be fine to get started and figure out your dosing.

 

[bsdryder7]

how do i find how to mix ??

whats P

 

[mfdrookie516]

Thats the po4... I can't find the mixing spreadsheet. Its on Meegosh's autodoser build somewhere. I think I accidentally deleted it

 

[mfdrookie516]

Here it is... found it where he had linked it- PPS Pro Autodoser Calculator.xls

 

[bsdryder7]

ok so what do you guys put the pressure at i got it 1 bps right now i think my 4dkh solution is comming on wensday so i can fine tune it....

 

[mfdrookie516]

I keep mine around 10 lbs and 3-4 bps... If you don't have some pressure, it'll fluctuate a lot
