Base layer is a clay heavy subsoil, topped with organic compost mix, then capped with ANS aquarium substrate (mostly inert) & plain grey sand. Lights: 2 X 20w CFLs Ikea desk lamps () Lights are on 7 hours a day and light fixtures are 3 inches above water surface. 2700k Bulbs are used for growing, switched out for 6500k bulbs for filming as 2700k bulbs look good visually in real life but too yellow for camera to compensate. Fertilization: Macros - 4ppm Nitrates, phosphates, 5ppm potassium dosed every other day through KNO3, KH2PO4 and K2SO4. On days that Macros are not dosed, Fe & traces dosed through plantex CSM B. 4ppm. Magnesium dosed once every 5 days together with 40% water change. Circulation/filter: One of the Ehiem ecco models rated for a larger tank CO2: ANS regulator with solenoid (local brand) ; UP Aqua inline atomizer that delivers a fine mist. CO2 comes on an hour before lights on and turns off 2 hours before lights off. Other water parameters: Relatively alkaline water- KH between 7 to 11 due to limestone. Temperature 27-29 degrees celsius. GH/pH untested - estimated to be around GH10 / pH7. TDS - around 250-300 Note to comments: You need to enable reply in your comment for me to reply directly - may be an issue with mobile devices Full journal: Visit my new website: Music: Teller of the Tales by Kevin MacLeod () Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0
