Tried the ADA ferts too. One thing I can say for sure is that they're great for a tank full of stems if you don't like trimming. Plant grow sloooowly. Not much help in the color department though.
After the March meeting I may experiment with Nitrate, but no phosphate dosing like Johnny. Right now I need to build the plant mass.
So I got the 18000K bulb hoping that the spectrum has more to do with the plant color than fert parameters and quantity of light do.

How did the results come out?
