blizwiz:3 month old 10 gallon since the beginning. New to tumblr so I don’t know how to leave a comment on someone’s reblog but someone asked about ferts/co2 so I’ll just list the setup.Lighting: 2 finnex planted+ LEDs, a 20" over the background and a 12" over the front, on for 8 hours a day.fluval 106 canister filtersome heater, kept at 78FSubstrate: Eco complete everywhere and there’s some ADA amazonia mixed into the background where all the stems are. There are also osmocote root tabs spread throughout. co2: 5lbs tank with a Milwaukee dual stage regulator, set to ~3bps, using a rhinox 2000 diffuserFerts: EI dosing potassium nitrate and phosphate, sometimes magnesium sulphate 2-3x a week.

PH is ~6.9, nitrates ~20ppm, I haven’t checked the GH or Kh for a while so I don’t know those. I do weekly water changes, usually 50% of the tank.
