plant plans - help?
My understanding was that PMDD (yes, I got this from you Richmond, thanks)
consists of "macronutrients" and you use it along with a "trace mix" which I thought was, for example, TMG. I guess I was wrong. PMDD has trace mix as well as other stuff like nitrate. From reading on Thekrib, Potassium, Magnesium, and Nitrogen are important. These are the chemicals in the PMDD I bought from Richmond. Are they also in TMG? I know it says "no nitrates". TMG doesn't have nitrogen (nitrate). But a lot of people don't need it. Nitrate needs to be added to high-light tanks, or tanks without many fish. Otherwise, fish provide more than enough of it. In addition, tapwater may have quite a bit of nitrate in it, depending on where you live. Since your tank is a moderate-light tank (110 watts over 55 gallons), you may not even need to add nitrate. Get a test kit and measure first. If the bottom line is, just use the TMG, that simplifies things. I have a 1/2 liter bottle. I would use just TMG, at least at first. Later on, you may find you need to add nitrate, phosphate, or other stuff. (But you might not. In a moderate-light tank, TMG and regular water changes are often enough. That's all I use in my moderate-light tank.) Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
