These are the three bottles of stuff I have. Dose at their recommended 1ml per 100l of water, so 2.4ml for me.

Ingredients are:

Ok, if I remember the chemical names, you should be ok. I see macro components.

Maybe you need more? I was dosing almost 10ml of TPN+ in my little CO2 8g. That's definitely not what the directions say, but the plants ate it up and my CO2 levels were high.

I love the "Not for Human Consumption" warning. One would hope that people are not that stupid.

Everything is just looking a bit spindly, but mostly green and alive.

Need some bigger bushier plants?

 

[Rodders]

Things started to get a bit straggly and the floating plants near enough completely covered the surface. So I ripped a load of stuff out and this is how it is now. I think I need more defined front plants/mid/and rear plants.

I also want to bush things out, but the plants dont seem too, and I'd like some big leaf things. But I have no idea what does what, lol.

It looks nice. Some of the plants you have in the front, will grow up quickly, and then you would have to move them to the back. Have they grown some more in the mean time?

I wil have to take another photo. As I dont have CO2 nothing is growing fast.

Yes, I see what you mean. I have the same in my tank, although I was surprised to see growth at all after 1 week!
