Hi all,
I don't tend to worry too much about anything else as long as I have <"plenty of oxygen"> and <"plants">, ideally including some with the <"aerial advantage">.
I would be wary of adding a fertiliser <"containing ammonia"> to the tanks with fish in them, but I'm using a fertiliser <"which contains urea"> (CO(NH2)2).
I'm a "lean doser" but I <"don't dose a set amount">, or aim <"for a target value">, I just use the <"health and leaf colour of a floating plant"> as a guide to <"adding nutrients">.

I'd guess it will be fine now you are adding less ammonia (NH3), although it might take a while for the <"microbial assemblage to re-stabilise">.I don't know how to handle this news. Is the tank doomed or is it just a case of waiting for it to start working?
@dw1305 do you agree with @_Maq_ that nitrification is still not working as it should in my tank?
