Just done a full water test for my community tropical tank, here are my results:
Temp 27
PH 7
GH 11
KH 3
NH4NH3 0.003
NO2 0.03
Cu 0
Fe 0.1
PO4 0.5
NO3 50
Ok so I know the nitrates are on the border limit but they are coming down as I had a problem before and am happy that corrective measures are bringing them in the right direction.
My concern though is that I hadnt tested my iron before and have found that at 0.1 its very low. My plants are up and down health wise but some struggle and get the odd yellow leaf. So how do I rectify this? At present I dont use fertilisers, would that sort it?
Other than that the KH is slightly low, is that really a problem as my PH is stable?
