iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 123105 | Re: Newbie Guide to PPS-Pro I didn't test my water like I promised. Anyway, the GDA went away and everything is fine in this tank. The plants are doing well. Both of the females in my threesome of Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi had babies. So...things must be going right in this tank.  to PPS-Pro! |

Plant Points: 5650 | Re: Bout to try PPS-Pro - update Well, It's officially been a week. Here is the update:
1) I haven't had to clean the inside glass all week, so no GDA, GSA. I'm liking this.
2) I am seeing my fauna come out more. This has started ever since I turned down my CO2. I've seen RCS I thought died out, Also I have finally seen both my Farowellas at the same time a couple times now. I've thought 1 was dead for the last 6 months.
3) I am noticing some very slow growth, but where in the past some higher light plants dwindled, I am seeing new, but slower growth (nothing wrong with that).
So far so good.

My 90G is growing in nicely. I am getting ready to actually try to plan it out a little. |

3 weeks later (5 weeks total time), and tank is doing fine. This tank always had gsa on the glass during my weekly water change routines, now it seems to be slowly abating! I must say I like the idea of not HAVING to do a weekly water change. I am doing changes now every 2-3 weeks, or if I do a major prune/uprooting, as I did yesterday. I had been concerned that my B. japonica would not do as well, since it tends to like a little higher N, in my experience. But it's done great.
I am also going to be changing over one of my 50's to the PPS-Pro. Yesterday I did a major uprooting/re-planting of a large stand of C. wendtii, figured it was a good time to do the changeover, so I wouldn't have a massive meltdown. More to come... |

iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 3905 | Re: How to get rid of GSA? I too am using PPS-Pro, and I'm having great results . My BBA has completely disapeared, and my plants definately look a lot more healthy.
GSA is my only concern at the moment. I am now following Edwards advice and limiting water changes, so I will see in the next few weeks if that helps.

iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 4350 | Re: 0 Nitrates? lol, your right, I'm just not used to having an easily maintained planted tank. I guess I'm making things up to worry about and try to fix.
the system's working well for me, Edward. Thank you |

iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 7050 | Please feel free to post your experience with PPS I've been using it and am very impressed with the growth of the plants. They grow so well i'm going to have to limit the # of species i keep do to the extra large sizes the plants are getting.
