Plant type, not sure was told it is a Sword. The plant is 10 inches tall with a far amount of new growth at the base. It has been in the tank for about 6 weeks now.
Lighting: 32 watts cf
Dosing:
Flourish Comprehensive 3ml 1 time a week after waterchange.
Flourish Excel 1ml every other day.
Flourish root tabs
What are K and FE, and how do I get my NO3 up?
Welcome to the world of Planted Aquarium...Let the Education Begin!
32 watts total?
probabaly do not need CO2 and by dosing Excel you are going to need to start dosing ferts....
i would pick up GH/KH test kits as well as Phosphate test.
start dosing nitrate, potassium and phosphate...
if you go with flourish i would start out with about... 10 ml NO3, 3 ml PO4 and 15 ml K
i would also double you Comprehensive dose (do not dose this on the same day you dose the other stuff)...
why are you only dosing Excel every other day? if you do not have one of the planted that melt in Excel might as well dose everyday once you get your ferts inline...
you said you are using root tabs... how long since you last added new ones? if this a a 10"+ sword you might need two root tabs under it :?
