[liamt2k6]

[flyhawk]

no im not dosing any ferts currently-worried water will cloud-green water
will seachem work? im in th u.s.a cant get tropica

just give me some peacce of mind that ferts wont cloud my water!
can ferts go bad? i have some root tabs, but about 2 1/2 years old

 

[AdAndrews]

sorry. im not very farmiliar with seachem, 1 min

 

[nosoup4you]

Seachem is good though there are a couple of Canadian distributors that carry Tropica.

 

[flyhawk]

sorry i edited after you guys looked at my post, do ferts go bad?

 

[AdAndrews]

they do iron, flourish, phosphorus, nitrogen

what you need to do is identify which deficiancy it is(im not sure, i thinks its iron) and then get the florish, which is trace elements and which other one is lacking

good luck

 

[flyhawk]

it seems it is iron, the leaves are hard and brittly

 

[AdAndrews]

yeah, ok as i thought then, just get flourish and the iron seperately, should work. ask someone like truckasaurus123 or aaron north how much to dose daily

good luck!

 

[flyhawk]

thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!! by the way, should i raise my light levels, there only at 1.6?

 

[AdAndrews]

just try the ferts first, the light should me more than mine for amazon swords, then can tolerate below 1

 

[flyhawk]

sweet, ill try it!!!!!!!!

 

[AdAndrews]

good luck hope it works

 

[flyhawk]

um, i also had to say real quick
theres this squishy green stuff the lfs puts in there pots that they plant there swords
in. am i supposed to take it off from around the roots?

 

[jonnyf84]

yes take as much off as you can, its not essential but its better to have none in your tank or it will mess it up. If you buy a plant with little or no roots then it can be used as a weight until the plant becomes established.

I can see your Neons eventually being food for your Angels though.......
