Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi there,
I've just started injecting Co2 into my 40G tank... I've got a few things that i need advice on... I'll list my tank spec
2 x 55w Triplus PC ~3wpg
Co2 - Just started running it slowly about 1 bubble a second
Ph ~7
Kh ~7
GH - can't remember at the mo!
I'm expecting a delivery of plants any day now, I already have 3 x Ozelot swords, 1 x Orchid lily & some Hygrophila polysperma .. Rosanervig (tropic sunset) in at the mo, the hygro will be coming out replaced with Limnophilla aromatica along with the addition of dwarf hairgrass.
Now i already use flourish, and due to having problems keeping my nitrates up I dose KNO3 occasionally...
What i'd like to know is: up until now Co2 has probably been the largest limiting factor, now that i have that sorted, I'm assuming i'll need to start a proper ferts program... What do you guys recommend? the KNO3 i had is the powder type so i'm happy to go with dry ferts if they're the best method. What other stuff should i stock up on?
If you've spotted something that i'm doing wrong, please point it out!
Cheers,
