Hi all,
After 5 years I decided to set up a planted tank once again. However this time I had hard time setting up and maintaining a clean pristine tank. Please comment, Id be very happy to hear your thoughts.
This is a 100x38x48 tank, custom built for the library.
I am using 800lh canister filter, ph controller as you can see at 6.8. KH is around 10.
I am dosing EI solutions I mix. NPK and CSM+B, with extra Fe Gluconate.
Lighting, I have Finnex 24/7 one 90cm and one 60cm, so total 2 fixtures
After the filter media installed, the lh reduces to around 250, which may be low and my main reason for still seeing diatoms.
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts
Thanks, good to be back to the hobby
