I have just done a blackout to kill a bad case of hair algae, Could somone just check my revised dosing and advise what to change please? I am replanting it tonight as it got too bad, amazon swords were looking more like lace plants with the amount of holes they were getting in them as well....
53US Gall with 60Watts lighting
ph7, kh 5
50% water change a week
Plain sand substrate
65/35% ro/tapwater mix as tapwater is like liquid rock with high nitrates (40ppm)
After a water change I add 6 grams KN03 and 1.5 grams KH2P04 as well as 4 grams of magnesium sulphate
next day 7ml pmdd + iron.
Then alternate days of KN03/KH2PO4 and pmdd
Is this right? I was adding potasium sulphate as well, should I and how much? Since I got my new tank I get the feeling I have lost the plot a little as far as getting the dosing right
Thanks
