Default 0 Nitrogen

Hiya Poe,

Have you tried asking your local pharmacy? I ask my local chemist (in
Pymble) to order in pure chemicals and they look it up and order it.
Sometimes they ask why I need it.


Regards
Graham.

That's actually what I did, as well as do a search on Google, and phone
several hydroponics places (all had pre-mixed stuff)...

Cheers,
Poe

I know I was able to find it on eBay here in the US. But there might

be
problems shipping it international. Couldn't hurt to look into that

though.

Looks like I might have a problem with low or no nitrogen in my

planted
tank
(CO2 injected); currently tested Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrare as 0

(Aquarium
Pharm test kit), some of the plants that take N from the water column

such
as Limnophilia Aquatica is suffering (lower leaves are browning off),

even
the Anubias are starting to look yellow in the older leaves. The fish

load
in my 280L is still low at the moment, as I'm basing carrying capacity

based
on expected fish sizes (currently 5 SAEs, 13 Ottos, 18 Cardinals, 12

Rummy
noses and 6 Congos). Besides feeding them more (and also getting more
phosphates and possible getting algae), any suggestions, as N appears

to
be
the limiting factor here? Does anyone know of a source of Potassium

Nitrate
in Sydney?

Cheers,
Poe
