My Nesea sp red looks like this:
The tank is 310 litres with 0.7 watts/litre without reflectors. Aged gravel substrate since several years.
50-100% wc every week. CO2 from tube inserted in the canister filter intake. Apx 2-3 bubbles/sec that get's totally dissolved. Adjusted so that the plants pearl within a couple of hours and fishes seems ok.
I just recently (just a couple of days ago) have bought CaCl2 so I've raised my GH from 3.5 to 8 with it. To early to say anything about that.
Nutrient dosage every other day:
0.4 tsp KNO3 (low because I want reds)
2.75 ppm worth of PO4 (high because I like it, 2 tsp KH2PO4 in 200 mls of water, 25 ml dose)
0.1-0.2 ppm with CSM+B equivalent ("NutriSI" almost identical to CSM+B)
0.2 tsp MgSO4
0.2 tsp K2SO4
(I often dose macros and mikros alternating every other day).
So what's up with my Nesea? Any suggestions?
