Hello everyone!
My name is Mihai (Romanian for Michael or whathaveyou) and I live in London. I have a 71L Ciano tank that my partner got me for my birthday in July after she heard I used to keep fish as a child. Decided to go for the planted tank approach since I like the idea of having a complex ecosystem and I find the way everything interacts with everything beautiful.
Been reading into things, been getting stuff for the hobby each paycheck and now things are rather stable. I do however still have some GSA I'm looking to get rid of so was thinking of going the high phosphate approach, as described by cegc and others.
I have Easy Life Kalium and Fosfo being delivered today. Any dosing info? Can I get better supplements somewhere else?
Sorry if I'm breaking any forum rules by posting questions here.
Tank specs:
Ciano 80 71L - 60L actual water.
