Hi all,
I'm new in this nice forum (the best one, thanks Tom Barr)
I started this week end a new Aquarium (Fluval F90) with :
capacity : 129L (33G)
Light : Led Tropical Dennerle 48W (4480 Lumens) during 7h for the beginning
CO2 : 15-30 ppm (ceramic 2.3 bars, 1bps)
Soil :
1) 3L JBL volcano + ADA bacter 100 + JBL volcano mineral
I selected this mixture because ADA power sand special is too expensive
2) mixture of 6L JBL Volcano and 9L ADA amazonia normal
3) ADA amazonia light powder as top layer
Rock : Only Dragon stone (because it's neutral yehaaaaaa, water parameter like GH and KH and pH will not increased with time like other rock)
Plant : Eleocharis mini sp only (I'm noob, it's my first aquascape so I selected a plant which is not too difficult)
Water column :
1er day
I started with RO only, no tap water
I added K2CO3 for KH = 2
I added CaSO4 and MgSO4 (3.5/1) for GH = 5
I added 10ppm of NO3 (via KNO3)
I added 0.5ppm of PO4 (via KH2PO4)
And daily 0.1 ppm of Fe (via Trace Element)
I started CO3 to reach 30ppm
3e day
Water parameter :
KH = 0 !
pH = 5.2 !
PO4 = 0!
Fe = 0!
CO2 : not enough !
GH = 5
NO3 : 10-20 ppm
I added K2CO3 for KH = 1 (and increased of the the pH)
I added 0.5 ppm of PO4 (via KH2PO4)
daily 0.1ppm of Fe
Do you have some advice with ADA aquasoil ?
should I change something ?
Thanks a lot !
