0 KH and 5 GH

[Mooner]

Hi Tom,

Is there a concern in a non-C02/ non Excel lower light setup? I've been waiting for months for the KH to drop and it finally did to "0". I have read here that this would happen, so should I leave it as is?

This set up has Lenordite below inert substrate and was started way back with mulm and peat. Growth is slow ,like it should be, but steady Very few fertz.

So what do you think?

Thanks, Chris

This is pretty much what should occur.

Leave things, the only other things: GH should not drop below 2 or so, you might add some K+(you can use GH booster or K2SO4) and maybe a little trace element mix like TMG etc, actually TMG would do the best for your case.
It has some K and Mg as well as the traces.

Add maybe 2x a week, 2 mls per 80 liters.
