Bumping up nitrates

  • pH:
  • Temp:
  • KH:
  • GH:
  • NH4:
  • NO2:
  • NO3:
  • PO4:
  • Iron:
  • Dosing: 5 ppm KNO3, 0.2 ppm KH2PO4
  • NO3:PO4 Cumulative Dosing Ratio:

Notes:
I'm not sure if the algae increase is due to the increased GH hardness, or if because the UV was not run this week after the water change. Some of the rotala indica/rotundifolia seems to be bouncing back with the expected larger leaves, though the rest is still stalling, stunted. Although I wanted to keep the nitrates low to see if the R. magenta grew better, I decided to bump up the nitrate levels 5 ppm to see if that would make any difference with the indica/rotundifolia growth. At least it should help suppress the BGA.
