Hello to all,
I'm a bit confused about the ratios to be kept for PO4 and NO3. At this post "http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/showthread.php?t=2295&highlight=no3%3Apo4", there are so many ratios but what I would like to see is ppm's. 23:1 is also represented by 10:0.4 ppm. Also at some other posts for preventing green spot algea higher PO4 levels are suggested which is now my only concern. It is usualy told to keep PO4 values at 2 ppm for this reason and I wonder if I increase PO4 dosing to optain a steady 2ppm, must I also increase NO3 levels to 50ppm for still having 23:1 (10:0.4) or what. It seems very high to me. Will it go same also for K. Since a month I'm keeping this ratios for NO3
O4 as 15:1ppm. There isn't any new kind of algea or any decrease at the amount of GSA.
Tank is 120lt-132watt,ph:6.5,gh:8-9,kh:5-6,DIYCO2
I was not sure if I had to send this post to Algea forum or this one, but I tought it is mostly relevant with dosing. I would like to have some easy to understand comments and suggestions for a new beginner.
Thanks to all,
