Thank you very much for taking the time to analyze my water parameters Darrel. It`s very much appreciated. :thumbup: I am currently adding 30g of KNO3 and 30g of KH2PO4 to 1000ml tap water for Macro solution. As my NO3 appears to be below average, would I benefit from increasing KNO3, what...

Hmmmm. Don`t laugh! Substrate comprises of Flourite, sand, Akadama, Molar Clay, and Knott Nature soil. (In that order) The initial tank has been a bit of an evolution from first time fish keeper (hence the sand), to planted tank enthusiast. (hence the Knott) I am going to break it down and...

Thanks guys. That`s mades things alot clearer. I thought I had read that conductivity, and TDS were kind of similar but was unsure of the connection. I understand the science behind it now. :thumbup: Hi Darrel. I always thought that my water was soft? Reading through my water report it states...

Ceg. Awesome plant health. :shock: As for adding more Co2. I think I am at my limited in regards to fish welfare! I increased injection rate recently and witnessed stress on the inhabitants. I had to back off a bit as figured it was going to end bad. :( Current E.I mix is KNO3 (30g) -...

I am currently using a G6 filter and I am taking my readings from the built in Conductivity Reader. I have noticed that TDS readings are around 650 immediatly after a 50% water change and increase throughout the week peaking at around 850 by the time water change comes around again. I...

You lucky, lucky boy. Not at all jealous? What you getting. Tell, tell!! You have a very understanding wife. I get constant grief just for looking in the tank. I am made to do water changes on a Thursday when she is out at work, and under NO uncertain terms am I allowed to rescape until "Her...

Wish it was mate? I`m roughly about 40miles away from TGM. I keep meaning to have a run over but something always comes up and I never make it. Next time I visit Wales I`m going to travel via Wrexham and pop in! ( :shh: Don`t tell the wife) I brought some Eleocharis Parvula from them this week...

Or if you are short on plants and are trying to speed up the nitrification process for your newly established aquarium you could try adding a small ammount of Household Ammonia. This will feed the Nitrifying bacteria and give your filter a major boost? Much cleaner than flake/Shrimp etc. Make...
