Here's an update on my 20g kitchen tank. Continued from this thread
http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...nted-tank.html
I've stopped dosing seachem ferts except flourish and excel. The switch was hard for the tank to get accustom to. Had some BGA outbreak due not the dosing enough KNO3. Any some GDA. This is how it looks after 5 days of anti-biotics and increased KNO3. I was kind of uneasy of mixing my own fertilizers at first, but after some refinement I'm seeing great growth, and minimal algae. I also switched my bulbs from 6700k to 9325k. I think that had an adverse affect on my tank as-well at first. Algae increased after those for a while, once the tank stabilized it was fine (I'm really glad I got them, the color/clarity looks great). I also changed from river gravel to sand, it took a while for the mulm to settle (this also made the tank look like crap for while). All that happened about a month ago, and all is good now.
Enjoy
The new scape. I'll be updating more once the Downio and HC fill-in.
