72 Gallon Planted Tank Project

I Hate to tell u but the plant in the last pic, is not a true acuatic, is I belive dracenea and it's a marginal plant, It will go bad after a while if u keep it under water. Hapend to me before.
 
wow I didn't even research the CAE like I do most fish before I go by them, saw it in the pet shop and though it would eat a ton of algea. more pics...:D

Nice tank! Your angels will love this tank. And I strongly suggest you get rid of that chinese algae eater. I don't even know why pet stores sell them. They are extremely nasty to other fish and never eat algae. I think it's one of the most misnamed fish ever. Definitely get a couple more of each of your cories. They will do a great job of keeping the gravel cleaned of food that drops and they are a lot happier and entertaining in small groups of their own kind. Here's a quick shot of my 72G with discus. It's a nice tank to do different scapes. I rescape every year or so. I usually keep 8-12 cories in this one. Right now I just have two older false juliis. When they are gone I'll be adding 6-8 sterbai.

I like the way the tank is comng along. Be carefull with the plants though. That one in the bottom pic is not really aquatic.
 
wow now I am completely jealous...well they say the angelfish is the poormans discus for a reason, with me in my 3rd year of college I could never afford those gorgeous discus, much less the time for the water changes. I absolutely love them btw. I'm feeding the CAE to my aro asap:D OH NOOO... I realized I have been asking this question repeatedly on MFK and no one answers. I have Nutrafin Plant Grow Iron Enriched plant fertilizer and have no idea how often to dose my tank. I put the recommended 35ml in but it doesn't say how often to do this!
