I've used PPS on 2 different tanks, and it's worked great for me. Kudos to Edward and Discus!

Edward, I just want to give you an update. Everything seems to be loving the dosing schedule. My Bacopa Pantanal (i think) have grown to the top of my 55 gal (24"!!!) and have many side shoots comming out the bottom. My marsilia has begun to spread noticiably. The Vals are so big that i'm debating about selling them now lol! Cabomba is recovering from looking iffy, i'm tempted to go buy another few bunches.

Stargrass is grwoing (the little that lived) Hornwort is out of control. Hemianthus micranthemoides went from 3 stems, to about 15 and sent 2 6" runners out. And the most noticable one is the Hydrocotyle leucocephala It's grown from sending about 1 leaf every 3 days, to probably 1 a day, and it's reached the top of my tank, total length of it is probably around 30-35" with stems comming from the side. The best part is the leaves on the surface are about 2-3" in diameter!

I'll have a pic if i either clean the algea or it goes away. I'm hit with GSA and Some hair algea.

OK, it's been 2 weeks since I switched my 10 over to PPS-Pro. I am happy to report all appears to be well. I have noticed no change in growth rates, no change in algae (gda is still somewhat of an issue as my glass is getting a little dirtier, but I'm going to let that go a while). I have done no water changes.

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!

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.

Glad to hear it is working.

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