Aquasoil, Ferts & New Tank Melt So I'm 3 days into my new 10 gal tank with Aquasoil...so far so good...
HOWEVER, I have been reading posts on APC about people having problems with melting plants when establishing a new tank with AS...so for those of you out there who have used aquasoil to establish a new tank please let me know:
1. What kind of dosing regime should I utilize from the onset?
2. What kind of water changes should I do?
Currently I am doing a 30%-50% water change daily and just began dosing K and micros... (because I found in some obscure post that this is what you're supposed to do for the 1st week and a half.
I am seeing some growth in both my HM and didiplis diandraare showing signs of growth...however I'm beginning to see signs of melting in my Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC)...
PLEASE RESPONDS WITH ANY THOUGHTS, SUGGESTIONS, ANECDOTES, etc.
My plants are already in the tank and they're not coming out again...so Im looking for info that addresses my current situation. Will some of you older and wiser folks please share your knowledge and if you have time give a brief explanation of why...I like to understand how my tank will likely be affected by your advise and the process it entails...thank
