Hi,
I need some help in deciding what ferts I put for my around 2 week old planted tank. .
Tank size:
48 x 24 x 21 inches
120 x 60 x 55 cm
~100g
Plants:
Rottala roundifolia
Rottala valichi
Rattala najenshan
Long hair grass
Artherna
Dwarf hair grass for carpet
Monte carlo on some parts
Cuba on some parts
Hygrowfelia
Leppard lili
Plants are growing well except najenshan and cuba.. I see some runners coming from dwarf hair grass.. I have brown and green algae issue..
Substrate:
Quartz innert clay with penac c penac w bacter 100 etc
ADA amazonia on top
Lights and co2:
GE StarCoat T5HO 4 X 54W (~7 inches from water level) (7 hrs lights on)
pressurised CO2
(Nice pearling till bottom grass, or is it from algae I am not sure but good pearling till bottom)
Parameters from API master kit:
6.2 to 6.4 ph
Almost 0 to 0.5 ammonia (Tetra SafeStart plus)
0 nitrite
80 to 160 nitrate
Currently I am adding macro and micro as given by my well knowledged lfs friend. . I have some brown and green algae issue. .
I want to go with something more standard and proven by your experience. .
I went through EI and psp-pro mechanisms. .
Both these almost suggest plantex CSM+B and macro. . And on some locations I see members suggesting seachem flourish is better. .
That is what I want to understand from you. .
Csm+b or flourish ? And which macro solution? I have dry powders of KNO3, KH2PO4 and K2SO4 if you suggest diy macro, I can make it.... Don't have MgSO4.. and what is your dosing regime. .
I understand this information is on many sites now. . But I want to know what is giving you good results. .
Can you please help me in this. .
