Well, I just finished fixing a bio-filter crash in this tank and getting everything intact. Tommorow I am going to restart the CO2 injection process and get to a dosing regime Tom gave me but I just want to make sure that I am doing things right this time to eradicate BBA once and for all.
CO2 will come from 2 DIY Hagen CO2 systems with the Hagen Ladder to diffuse CO2 into the water. I used to use 1 Hagen Ladder unit but bought another one to try and give CO2 a boost. 2 Ladders are rated up to 40 gallons so I assume things will be fine.
Plants are: 1 giant val, 1 bannana plant, 6 stalks of ludwigia repens, 1 amazon swordplant, about 25 stalks of anacharis.
Substrate is plain old gravel but I have Flourish Tabs by Amazon Swordplant since I read that it is a root feeder.
Lighting: 1 4200K 20W bulb, 1 6700K 20W bulb, 1 18000K 20w bulb.
Fertilizer Dosage: 1/2 Teaspoon of Seachem Equilibrium weeklly after a 50% waterchange. 1/4 Teaspoon of KNO3, 1/16 Teaspoon of KH2PO4, 5 mL of Flourish 3x a week (Tom are you sure its 5 mL because according to the bottle that is rated for a 60 gallon tank).
Let me know if anything needs to be changed or updated with this plan. Thanks
