    Planted tank, algae, CO2

    Hi Steven, thanks for the summary. Will the dosing of trace and potassium be too much? According to the recommended instructions on the bottle, it says 10ml of trace, and about 8ml of potassium as per my tank size.

    Hi guys, thanks for your responses. I am very confused with these info, but i have on my hand Seachem Flourish Trace, Flourish Potassium, and Flourish Excel. May I know if I should carry on to dose these, and how often? Thanks!

    Planted tank, algae, CO2

    Hi Steven, I am from Singapore. A quick search online led me to this website that gives the average range for each parameter in our waters: https://www.pub.gov.sg/Documents/Singapore_Drinking_Water_Quality.pdf It may not be the exact amount, but it does serve as a guide. An hour earlier I...

    Planted tank, algae, CO2

    Hi Utahfish, Yup I understand most of what you are sharing. I did try my luck with both substrate fertilizers (root tabs) and liquid fertilizers, but did no avail. I am afraid now that there might be "too much" nutrients and not enough CO2 to keep up with the nutrients/light. Do you suggest I...

    Planted tank, algae, CO2

    Hi Martyn, I do not recall which substrate I am using, but it is aquarium soil (might have been help advanced soil for plants). I did use Dennerle power tab root fertilizer when I first planted them, and i added about 2 more at different spots about a month back. I stopped on the liquid...

    Planted tank, algae, CO2

    Hello everyone! Hope you guys are staying safe during this period. This is my second thread from this forum (first one was about 8 months ago!). Previously i asked you guys about some fish stocking queries before I got my first tank. Some updates since then: my tank has been running for about 5...

    Ask Questions About Cycling

    Hey Byron! i am thinking of aquasoil for a side of the tank, sand in the middle, and gravel at the other side, and using rocks to separate the substrates. Have not really looked into the brand of the soil etc, but thought it makes sense that soil is a better substrate for plant growth (correct...
