mario75, your tanks are amazing, i love how you can go from a realistic underwater scape showing the true beauty of nature, and then to a scape that reminds me of dry land like theme tanks. just curious what is you fert chart in terms of ML, like daily N,P,K,CO2, trace, and comprehensive mix, i dose every other day on most of my tanks, and i start with high numbers and work my way down until i find no algae, and good growth, but it looks like you dont ever have a real algae problem, so how do you find how much and when without coming into issues

Thank you!
Perhaps the answer to your question is in this picture. Not always fertilized with the same dose of K or PO4, Mg, NO3..etc, etc. I do tests before the water change, and adjust fertilizers values for the next week ... looking to be in the "safe" zone of tests.
Any imbalance between fertilizer will produce algae...And I hate algae. I prefer to fight with them on the table, not in the tank...
