Adding CaCl2 later

  • PO4:
  • Iron:
  • Dosing: 50 mL Excel, 1.5 tsp MgSO4, 6 tsp CaCl2, 15 ppm NO3, 1.8 ppm PO4
  • NO3:PO4 Cumulative Dosing Ratio: 15:1.8 = 8.3

Notes:
65-70% water change:
30 mL Amquel+
1.5 tsp MgSO4 (epsom salts)
6 tsp CaCl2
3.5 tsp baking soda

Pruned away a large part of the nice, large stargrass.

I dosed everything except the CaCl2 immediately after the water change. I dosed the CaCl2 later at night to see if that would help avoid any chemical interactions that might have been occurring otherwise.

Cleaned out the AquaClear filter. I noticed that there were all these little (<1 mm) bug like things shaped like ovals or almonds swimming around in the water that came from the dirty filter sponge. I have no idea what they are.
