Fertilisation:
Trigon get's what it's given... sporadic NPK (dry), 13% EDTA (dry), profito, magnesium.... bi-weekly WC, if that.
Other tank is on EI NPK (20ml dose 3 x week, 500ml with 2tbsp KNO3 + 2tsp KH2PO4), profito 3ml per day for 6 days of the week. 50% weekly water changes
Substrate:
Trigon: Gravel/pea shingle with the smallest most pathetic bag of tropica soil under it.
Other tank: Westland pond soil capped with sand
Hardscape: Just wood really.
Flora: various, see pics. Pretty run of the mill.
Fauna:
Trigon: At least 80 amano, gold ring hill stream loaches, galaxy danios? killifish, couple of green neons I can never catch to put upstairs, a few other things I don't know the name of as they were rehomed and I didn't look into them.
Other tank: Rosy loaches, copper harlequins, green neons, 5 banded barbs, 25 odd captive bred amanos, some unwanted yet not too bothersome MTS.
