Dunno - never done any soil tanks. Since you've done both Dave should
follow your advice.

Since you're scared - let me throw this out there. The last time
I saw a K deficiency in my 215 - I mixed about 1 tsp of K2SO4 in 2 cups of
water and dumped it into my tank. No algae and in a couple of days, all the
plants were greener too.

Hee! - I mixed 2 tablespoons in 500 ml of water, and am dosing 3 ml a day.

That is .2 ppm a day, give or take (.21). I'll give it a few days, if there are no changes, I'll up it a little. I've seen the algae explosions, going to tread lightly.

Made a trip up to Dave's today. Hopefully these won't be blurry. Other than a resize, no adjustments made.

Before the Trim:

Then, the master observed while the young apprentice wept quietly while following instructions:

After:

Yeah, and guess who has a 125g that is about to be full of plants. Hee! Can't wait to see it man.

I r sad, my tank looked so lush.... but I know it'll look even better than it did a month from now, can't wait for this to grow back in.
