alright, i have the following ferts that i purchased, not knowing what i needed and being cheap i just got all i could get and figured out what i needed later on.
k2s04
kn03
kh2p04
magnesium sulfate
calcium carbonate
and i use baking soda to buffer to 7dkh
this is my weekly routing right now
monday wed fri gets 1/8 tsp kh2p04, 1/8 tsp of k2s04, and 1/2 tsp kno3
tues thurs and sat. get 10 ml of plantex csm+b mixed per greg watsons site says to
sunday is wc day for all my tanks, this one get 50%
now im not sure what i need the other things for but i was told for my gh, but its like 3-4 out of the tap so....
now i hear i need to have atleast 10ppm nitrates to fend off bga so i need to test this
but it usually 0 when i do, so do i need to up my kno3 dose till i get this reading?
also since i hear that too much phosphate will help bga grow should i cut out the kh2po4 and not get the phosphate and the increased kno3 will take care of the k lost from kh2po4?,
all i can say is that for the last month i have been trying to get smoe answers and all i get is the run around, this is pretty much my last hope here at the ac forum. and i have had a small amount of brown hair algae, not a big deal , but getting there, and im not sure what ive got wrong nbut all my time and money is goint to hell in a hand bag and im getting headaches from trying to figure this out on my own. plz any help on these subject aqbove, ty, i will post later, so stressed i cant think, about to puish this tank out the window and let the street cleaner get it tomorrow
