Ok, this makes no sense at all.
Tank #1.......... Tank #2
KH 8............... KH 10
GH 14............. GH 18
pH 7.2............. pH 7.0
NO3 20-30...... NO3 30-40
PO4 2-3.......... PO4 3-4 ( don't ask how I got the balance but I did)
CO2ppm 15..... CO2ppm 30
Both tank 0 ammonia and nitrites, same lighting. ~33 w/g NO flourescent
Tank #1, No CO2 injection, dose 1 ml daily of excel and 4 ml at water change
Tank #2, CO2 injection, dose 1ml excel daily and 4 ml after water change
Here is the problem: Tank #1 is using more NO3, PO4 and everything else than tank #2 and the plants in tank #1 are growing awesome where most plants in tank #2 are struggling, even Wisteria!
Dose EI both tanks the same
NO3 10ppm, PO4 .77ppm, Mg 3.3ppm, Ca 12.33ppm every other da3x a week
CSM+B .29ppm on opposite days.
Plants tank #1
Crypt Red Wendtii, Christmas moss, Anubias Barterii Nana, Pearlweed, Primrose, Hygrophila Aromatica species
Plants Tank #2
Primrose, Crypt Lucens, Crypt Becketti, Ammannia S., Anubias afzelli, Wisteria, H. Aromatica Species
What could the problem be? The only difference is that tank #1 has a glass top and tank #2 has a plexiglass top. That is the only thing I can think of that might be having any effect. This is really baffling.
