They say that Anacharis doesn't like it either. I have them both. I started with 3 drops a day, and worked my way up to 1/3 dose so far. Been almost 2 weeks and they both are growing well. I'm hoping that they will acclimate.

I have found that statement to not be completely true. Mine do fine, though not dosing every day so that might be the difference.
 
Phosphates are at 1.0 and nitrates are 12.5. This is with a 50% water change on Saturday. Looks pretty good to me.

I guess I'll dose the Excel.

Those are beautiful readings.
 
:headbang2: Thank you!!

I didn't know testing the nitrates would be so complicated. :eek:
 
It has three different drops and one powder. Lots of steps.
 
Wow, I've never heard of that, what brand is it? I just use API. 2 bottles, 10 drops each.

They were out of the API for nitrates. I got Tetra Test. (45 tests)

I did get an API phosphate test.
