Does the tropica pellet color mean something : black is iron, white is other micros, orange big pellet is NPK ?Reference:
Bubbles forming foam
So I'm setting up a new aquarium. I've filled it up till around 1/3 of its height and left it overnight. This morning I noticed that bubbles coming from my plenum are forming the foam in the pictures I've attached. The foam doesn't feel soapy to the touch and dissolved as soon as I pick it up in...www.ukaps.org
Tropica root tabs and surface film
Hi all, I added root tabs yesterday evening during my weekly routine. Tropica type. After I got home today I noted a hazy hue in my tank, drop checker more yellow than normal and I’ll my Oto catfish were stationary. When I angled my spray bar up to create more gas exchange I noted bubbles...
Those that 'regret' using osmocote probably used too many. I put one or two 2-3mm pellets under each stem of my more 'difficult plants', maximum 20 pellets in a 90P tank, monthly. (most of the nutrients from osmocote are released in the first 2 to 3 weeks). For many plants, you really don't need to fertilise the substrate - pls ask the Sand Crew 🐚⛱️⛱️⛱️
I suspect one single Tropica capsule contains about 20+ pellets of osmocote and those who had problems may have put the entire package of Tropica root tabs into the tank ALL AT ONCE.
