I have root tabs that I use under my Amazon sword and crypts and it’s worked wonders. I think I’ll look into getting a complete fertilizer because my rotala isn’t looking the greatest if you check my other post. And yes my water is very soft

So it’s better to get a complete fertilizer? I think I might be feeding them a bit too much. There’s so many of them and they’re always swimming in the front of the glass and following me till I feed them

The nitrates come from within the tank I believe. The tank has many live plants and I’ve started dosing with iron

Tank has been up for 7 months now 48” x 18” x 19” are the dimensions gH is around 10 ppm kH is 250 ppm pH is 7.5-7.8 Nitrates is at 10 ppm Nitrites is 0ppm Ammonia is 0ppm I water change 20% twice a week I gravel vac every other water change Yes I dechlorinate It has a sponge filter and it’s...

I have a 75 gallon planted aquarium stocked with the following… Around 19 rummy nose tetras 15 ember tetras 15 Cardinal tetras 2 otocinclus 4 amano shrimp I need to know if the tank is too heavily stocked or if I can fit more fish in there because I’m thinking of getting either Angel fish or...

Will do thanks!

Hey just thought I’d update. All of my plants look the same since starting the iron. I’m going to continue using it but I’m wondering if I should switch to a complete fertilizer

I’ve had Cyanobacteria cover all of my plants. I did a blackout for a day or two and it was all gone, never came back

I think I’ll wait on the Potassium for a bit because it’s just a few rotala that aren’t doing well. My anubias is actually not doing too bad

And I assume I should continue to water change as usual? I do 25% once or twice a week

I’ve gotten dosage instructions from the bottle but I can’t find anything online about how often. I’m gonna assume everyday

I’ve purchased the seachem iron. How often should I dose? My tank is 75 gallons

Yea the acidity has been a constant struggle, I may resort to using peat

I also have salvinia minima and frogbit. And I have a little bit of green hair algae growing on some other rotala blood red that’s also not doing well. Will the iron make the algae problem worse? Or help resolve it?

I have anubias, Java fern, crypts, flame moss, Java moss. Will the iron affect any of them negatively??
