Remind me never to put a tank in a room with lots of ambient light.
Because glare sucks.
So often I want to show you guys something in Elements but I can't because all you'd see is a silhouetted reflection of yours truly holding a camera. I've got a ton of windows and great views, but in the planted tank way of looking at things, windows suck.
Were this tank not in the living room, I'd be able to show you how much Elements has filled in. I've come to the conclusion that the fast growth I'm seeing in Elements is not due to a larger tank size as I hypothesized earlier, but Aqua Soil. I believe that Aqua Soil is better than Aqua Soil Powder. The powder-type, while very good, is not as nutrient-rich as the normal type; that's what I'm thinking, anyway.
On an unrelated note, I don't know why, but every time I dose K, a few shrimp die. I'm careful to dose slowly and all that, but still, without fail, a few hours after I dose, one to three shrimp will die. It could be coincidental, but it's made me more than a little scared to dose anything in here. Yesterday I lost three a six hours after dosing.
Weird.
