I think I need to add IRON ?

[John44]

Juwel Trigon 190 Aquarium
190 Litres

CO2 On at - 16.00
Lights on at - 17.00
CO2 Off at - 22.00
Lights Off - 23.00

Dose with JBL Ferrapol - Weekly with the water change

So I have good overall growth, however Im lacking something, the picture in the post shows leaves becoming see through, yet at the same time its growing - I assume Im deficient in something (maybe Iron) just not sure what ?

Hi
JBL Ferropol ....doesn't contain Phosphate or Nitrate.
Therefore you need to add a Macro fertilizer!

It's likely to be either K or PO4. MAke sure you are adding NPK. Investigate an all in one fertiliser if you want simple. Otherwise start with EI dosing and you can slowly scale back as you get experienced.

Thanks, did make me laugh - K, PO4, NPK, EI

All in one fertiliser sounds the simplest way to go - anyone have any recommendations ?

Hi John
Good read below!
http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/EI.htm
There are various All in Ones available our Sponsors do some!
Or Ebay.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-in-On...hash=item2c7c212b8d:m:mhbfS_xIZeFWDN_H1ZNkf_A
Or you could just make up your own which would be less expensive in the long run!
