Fertilizer Question

Sorry for the jolt! I've yet to begin serious dosing and am comfortable doing bi-weekly water changes (though not opposed to weekly either). Mainly b/c I'm not heavily planted (not even moderately planted) and am not trying to get explosive growth.
Should I go moderately to heavily planted, is it possible to dose less, do bi-weekly water changes, keep the plants healthy (not necessarily growing at full potential) and have a healthy tank?

Not to good, it's in the process of being started over again. :( I was deployed to Iraq in early May and didn't return until October.

My wife took care of our kids and all six of my tanks. She did a GREAT job, except with the planted tank. She felt so bad, but I figured that this would happen.

There is a plus side to this story though. She refers the tanks as HERS now. We are moving to Texas this summer and wants to buy another 150g for her when we get there. The best part is that when it is time to clean tanks she cleans half of them while I'm doing the other half. She's HOOKED now. :D

That's the trick :bowing:
Now I know what to do to get my wife to be more interested in my tanks :devil:
Thanks for the info.
 
Better the tank, than Dave! :bday:
Glad you are back. A plant tank we can bring back to life.
