mrkookm, your plants look absolutely beautiful and are your tank is truly inspirational. Out of curiosity, what kind of substrate are you using?

Thanks Mrkookm

Would you be so kind as to Post or PM me the nutrient analysis for the Ferka root tabs 'Rosetta & Stemma." All, I have is some Seachem Fluorish Gravel Tabs lieing around and Ferka root tabs are not available locally. I wanted to see how the Ferka root tabs compare to the Seachem Fluorish Gravel Tabs in terms of nutrient analysis.

Hi, not trying to correct you, just making sure that I have the correct recipe when I mix my brew. Earlier you posted 1 teaspoon yeast and 2 teaspoons baking soda, so I am assuming that the 2 tablespoons is a typo and you meant 2 teaspoons, correct?? 2 Tablespoons of baking soda seems kind of high, but if that is what you meant and it works for you, I certainly would have no issues testing to see how that works for me. Thanks

I might have missed it but I didn't see you mention anything about ferts. Do you use ferts?
I use RootMonster tabs and they seem to work pretty good. I put them under a pair of crypts that never grew and now they have about 10 huge leafs each. Unfortunately the leafs have some sort of hair algae all over them so I cut most of the leafs off.

Thanks.
