Yup, I've got the KNO3. Been dosing to keep nitrates at 10ppm
Oh, yea. A phosphate test showed levels off the scale immediately after the 50% water change. I don't understand that. I can only assume the test is accurate. It reads 0-0.25ppm for my tap water. my aquarium page, info and pics at: www.geocities.com/spiral_72/Spirals_page.html |

I run almost a 50% water change last night. I added a little KNO3 to
keep the nitrates up to 10ppm. I am going to dose fertilizer tonight. (it got tool late last night). Still pumping CO2. pH dropped to 7.1 my aquarium page, info and pics at: www.geocities.com/spiral_72/Spirals_page.html |

Just make sure you add plenty of KNO3 and KH2PO4.
Keep up on it and keep things clean and you'll be alright. Regards, Tom Barr |

No BGA as of last night. pH=7.1 NO3=10ppm PO4=off the scale
I changed about 30% water while vacuuming, and installed a phosphate sponge I just bought. The vacuum really didn't pull much out of the gravel. The phosphate spong is supposed to remove 20mg/L in 30gallons of water. According to my calculations that'd be 10.9mg/L assuming I have 55gallons of water in my 55 gallon aquarium (which I probably don't). The directions say "if the phosphate levels ain't 0.02mg/L or less after 4 days, change the sponge for a fresh one" I must say I have learned much during this experience. Thanks Tom. my aquarium page, info and pics at: www.geocities.com/spiral_72/Spirals_page.html |
