I switched to PPS Pro on my 29G about 5 weeks ago. It's not very heavily planted, a big patch of valisneria, a bunch of java moss, and 2-3 various crypt species.

5 green corys
2 otos
1 angel
8 rasboras

Eheim 2217 with pressurized co2 run directly into it, inline reactor coming soon

I have a touch of BBA that is now slowly subsiding, my vals have slowed down their growth while my crypts have really shot up faster. The new growth on the crypts are a vibrant green. I love it.

However, I'm now getting GSA on my glass which I never had a problem with till this point. I don't think it's a photoperiod issue. Perhaps I have too little plant load for the 1ml/1G dose?

I really like the ease of the ferts too, I went and bought 2 nalgene 1000mL bottles and a few plastic pipettes. I can't wait to order 2 peristaltic pumps to automate this.
