Let’s Talk Fertilizer & Schedule ( again)

Me too, I will update here. I can not wait to post my first not problem just showing off post ??
 
Great, can't wait! That's how really long threads go, all over the place, but hopefully back to good stuff..

On that note how's the c. lucens doing? Not unhappy with meds &/or moving? I need a break from problems, yours, mine, everybody's, lol.

The plants all seem to be doing well, a& the GBR are doing well too! The new spots were on the gudgeons and sadly I lost one overnight. It was the smallest gudgeon and it hid a lot so it’s hard to say his behavior leading up to this. But the body didn’t appear to have ich spots like the other two do.
corys & guppies are doing well too.
sad about the PG going downhill

this is the 1st loss I have had since the broken tank.

Um what do you think happened? Why do you think I have no nitrates ? I have been consistently 5-10 :/

The plants would be taking off. Cause you have a lightly stocked tank, you might need to dose KNO3 to keep it at 5 to 10 ppm.
Ok, So the nitrates are being “used” Up vs Break down in my cycle (what I was initially fearing).

I can Order the Seachem kno3 in addition.
Thank u

I may eventually go that route. But I have been known to do some air head things ( like ten pages back ( when first using prime ) I did my math wrong and added prime for the whole tank amount vs the 5g bucket.
so I tend to read twice and double check to make sure I only have the tools and bottles out I am using so I don’t get confused and and the dosage for the wrong bottle.
Lol
 
I agree you probably need to add KNO3, you've been changing more water lately too. I have Stump Remover from HD or similar. I think there were 2 versions or 2 brands, you want the 1 that is ONLY KNO3, it says on the label what's in it.
