Anyway, Average good levels:
pH 5 6.8, (4 8
KH 0-3 dKH (3+ for fewer plants)
GH 2 3dGH by Ca (3+ ok)
NO3 5 20 ppm
PO4 0.1 1 ppm
K dosed at 1.33 : 1.00 of NO3 in ppm
Iron impossible to test
Mg 0.1 5 ppm by SO4
CO2 3 20 ppm with water surface movement (0 for fewer plants, 20+ difficult and no improvement)
These are PPS-Classic system questions where some weekly testing is necessary. This system produces very fast growth. The maximum growth plants can handle.
With PPS-Pro no testing necessary. It was designed for aquascaping where plant quality is the main objective. |
Thanks Edward!
Those Tom Barr parameters that I posted were from around 1996/1997.
