Few questions, I have been reading quite a lot on this forum, "trying to learn how to get a great planted tank going", and i have noticed on a lot of threads, people are mentioning 50% sometimes more water changes for there routine maintenance. Currently i have been doing about 20% water change on my 55 gal about once a week, for the past 3 years. Have i not been doing enough?? my nitrate has never really gotten much above 30ppm and is pretty constant around 20-25 ppm(plants benefit from this), i have a decent amount of fish, many plants, mostly java fern, and amazon sword.
Does Co2 injection or the addition of dry fertilizers, (which i will be starting soon"K2SO4,KH2PO4, and CSM+B plantex") require a higher amount of water changed each week?? also i will not be dosing KNO3 because i think i have enough nitrate (20-25ppm) does anyone else agree with this as well??
Thanks,
Chris
