Haha! Sometimes I do feel like I'm back in chem lab when I'm working with my tanks
Ok so test results!: (2 hours after dosing)
Nitrate: 5-20? I hate this test. 5, 10, and 20 all look the same to me.
And phosphate was very low, .25-.5 I think?
I guess I've exceeded my quota on pictures I can upload
so sad.
So- Ricercats told me to get my reds to color up I want higher phosphates and lower nitrates, so to shoot for ~10ppm nitrates and ~3ppm phosphates.
I guess my nitrates are about on track, but since the 1ml/10g like the instructions say for the macro mix only got me to .5ish ppm phosphates, what should I do? It's mixed with the K2SO4, so I don't want to overdose on that trying to raise phosphates.. Why is there no potassium test?
Also, how do you get liquid into the little dosing chambers at the top of the bottles? No matter how I shake or tip mine, no liquid goes through.
