The Big Clean.

[DaveW]

I got off early from work and went to the LFS. I brought some tube for my filter and some more plants. I got two pot/12 stems of Eustralis Stellata and two pots/ 18 stems of Polysperma. So tomorrow morning I will sort out my filter, water change/vac and plant the plants. Hopefully it will not take to long to settle down after that.

The filter is running correctly now and all the plants are in.
I'll see how goes and wait until the filter has settled before I start fertilising.
I must admit, it was nice to see the plants pearling last night, tiny bubbles going every where.

Just an update on my stats

Ph 6.7
Kh 5
Po3 0.2
No2 0
No3 4
Nh3 0.6

I can't understand why the No2 is zero but the Nh3 is still 0.6?
The filter seem to be running OK still, and the plants are pearling. I've never seen some many bubbles on the surface of the water.

I'm a little concerned about the Po3 and No3, what if they run out? I'm still adding a little Tetra Min for the iron etc, is this OK?

I've also got the brown algae still, but I'm going to have to be patient I suppose.
