Olga promised to make guacamole. I'll bring both.

Here is an update.

Oh, I have always dosed P, K, N and micros. I just don't add the root tabs for my AS tank. Hi Julie, Can you tell me what and how much you are dosing nowadays for your 29 gal tank? I'm trying to compare figures from different club members to come up with the starting figures for my dosing routine.

Thank you all who answered the call. Here is what I came up with so far. Note: While calculating, I assumed that actual water volume is about 85% of 'rated' tank volume. For example, I assumed that a '40 gallon' tank would hold about 34 gallons of water (~130 liters). 1 ppm = 1 mg/L. Fill free to qu...

What I have been finding is my N, and P are usually at target levels, with nitrates sometimes a little too high, and the Phosphates sometimes a little too low. But mostly I find myself just adding ...

Dear fellow club members, I'm compiling a spreadsheet to compare dosing routines of different club members for a CO2-injected , high-light tanks in an effort to find out how dosing might depend on different factors. Having general recommendations from articles and forums is one thing and looking at ...

I'm starting to wonder which of the verticillatas this plant is (quote is from TFH magazine): "L. inclinata “verticillata” var. “Cuba” is a large, showy stem that grows more erect than L. inclinata, and with very different submerged growth characteristics. Its leaves are long, narrow, and very ...
