Hi guys, I've started a 90g tank and I would like to receive few opinions.
water params:
degassed pH: 8.0-8.1
straight out tap: 7.3-7.4
GH: 11
KH: 9.5 (this morning, used to be 8)
Ca - Mg: 66ppm - 8ppm
This tank is a Dutch style (around 21 different species) inspired tank, with lots of fast growers, both easy (hygrophila polysperma) and picky plants (Ludwigia Pantanal).
Right now I do something like between 20% to 30% wc weekly (for now, I'm doing it, 2 or even 3 times a week. But the idea is to settle to only 1 time per week).
As fertilizer i use Masterline golden daily at suggested dosage.
I'm thinking to switch to ro water because, I heard that too much calcium cause problems with other nutrients absorption, there are swing happening in KH right now, and in all honesty I hope that plants grow healthier due to softer water with less algae.
What do you think? Right now I don't have algae, the tank is 1 month and there are plant that are still adapting from vitro
