I have a 125 gal low tech set up. Substrate is BDBS. AMMONIA 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 20ppm(post WC goes up to 40ppm after one week) dKH 4, dGH 14. Temp 78-80 degrees. DIY sump filtration. I have pothos plant growing on top of the tank to assist with Nitrates
Fish stock 12 rainbows, 3 angles, 4 tetras, 2 bristlenose plecos , 3 roseline Denison barbs
Lighting is Fluval LED

I do not add ferts but by the looks of the plants they need some nutrients!!
Can someone identify the deficiencies and advise what ferts to add?

Not sure on the exact deficiencies

But If you’re not adding ferts, it’s safe to say you’ll need a source of macros and micros in there!

A good place to start might be an all in one like thrive from nilcog

Yes like you I’m on multiple sites and was looking to see similar responses before taking action...
I ordered Thrive C today and plan to begin dosing when it arrives
Thanks
