UPDATE due to buying some HC from a message board " first and last" i add some algae into my tank unknowingly and it just about whipped out the entire tank. Just as adding new fish a hospital tank for plants will be added to my rutine from now on. Though saying good buy to a lot of hard work an old friend. I entered ADA 2007 "nothing ventured nothing ained" AN WAS FLOORED WHEN I panked 148 with the old tank. Some times change is not a bad thing, so heres to the next generation. I'm going to try adding ferts this time around and stepping up to metal halide 2- 150 watt Ammano green, and actually bought some test kits to check the levels for iron hardly even registers 0.1, phosphates 2.0 , Nitrates 2.5, Co2 17,PH 6.2, KH 6, GH 12 AMMONIA 0. Nitrite 0 .I am still finding conflicting numbers to what the targets are. Any imput on these numbers is welcomed. I still have a small amount of this hair algae to contend with but working hard to beat it so heres the next layout I'm working on and we'll see where it ends up. so far so good. set up is A week old now, some new some old plants i probably should have started fresh and got rid of substrate and all plants but we'll see what happens.
