Full tank pics here

thanks everyone, i'm going to keep trying and going to post more when i have results. hopefully i'll end my skid.

more pics my next solution was to upgrade my lights from ahsupply.com my dosing schedule is as follows: Day 1 after 50% water change KN03 3/4 tsp ---- 13ppm KH2p04 .10 tsp ---- 1.71ppm K2S04 1 tsp ---- 18 ppm around CaCO3 1 tsp ---- 2.5 ppm Espom salt 1tsp ----- 2.5 ppm Plantex plus boron +...

i've done almost everything, i'm still lost my plants seem to die off on the bottom, and some of the leafs are bent... showing deformity. Those red spot algae is still developing. I'm cranking up my Co2 as high as possible, according to the kh/co2 chart it is 22ppm. My tank is a 50 gallon tank...

thanks anyway greenmagi, i hate test kits grr because i broke almost all of the glass tubes and can't seem to find anywhere that sales them individually. someone once told me not to look at numbers but at the plant itself... maybe that's referring to the EI method. yea this calculator seems...

one question... does the amount of water i use to mix dry fertilizer affect the results? o_O that's an expensive kit

is there a way to measure ppm?

since it is nearly impossible to measure K, what indicates that potassium or boron is required?

their manifolds costs $80 8O how about the JBJ replacement bubble counter... http://www.aquariumplants.com/cgi-bin/cart/pr431.html

i can't find a milwaukee bubble counter alone anywhere :| Yea i agree its not completely nescessary, i have markings to help me determine how many bubbles comes out but the CO2 tube attaching to the regulator often slips out and i lose alot of Co2 like that. Is there a better way to do this?

my triple tube only has one tube in it, after hearing a buzzing sound coming from one, i switched it to another and it was gone. Now i hear it from the power compact light. Can this be because it is closely exposed to water? :( i hope its not broken

on the way getting CO2 refilled, the bubble counter cracked on a sharp turn. I was wondering which bubble counter would fit on it the milwaukee regulator. Aquamedic? Red sea? The guys at bigals said to ask the manufacturer, but i have no idea what their official website is. I seek the wisdom...

thanks seems like a planted tank isn't ideal for my livebearers because the CO2 keeps the water a little below 7.0 pH and that's what some of my fish and all my plants prefer... i can't defintely add salt to the tank. The female guppies seems to do when no males are present, is that norma? 8O...
