  1. Swords are just hogs for nutrients, they don’t care where it comes from. People mistake large root systems for root/ heavy root feeders. The larger root systems are for anchoring mostly. Usually from seasonal flood areas or faster than normal flowing rivers and such. Here’s a good little blog post https://www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/fertilize-planted-tank/root-or-water-dosing?_pos=2&_psq=root feeder&_ss=e&_v=1.0
  2. Untrue. Just ongoing old wives tales that are continually passed on unfortunately.
  3. You should be concerned with 0 nitrates. Plants need N, P and K along with micro elements. If any of these bottoms out, the plant begins dying. Also, Swords do not need root tabs, water column dosing is all that’s needed.
  4. It’s definitely not award winning at the moment. Vomit best describes its current condition 🤣
  5. This was a few months ago. To my current plant vomit scape I’m trying to fix 😆
  6. Pictures are blurry, can’t see it clearly. White spots on lower leaves is usually a micro nutrient issue.
  7. Slightly less than 1 day of growth lol. Insane.
  8. Uncycled tank, you can probably expect the remaining fish to die off as well. Read up on cycling a tank.
  9. I have that, I just hate how it wants to lay over at times. Makes it harder for a background plant.
  10. I forgot to mention, check out Aqua Rocks Colorado. They have amazing customer service.
  11. 1 is all you would need and has enough par to grow any plant available to us. CO2 would be the only limiting factor. My PC monitors are trash for editing and sorry the the pictures are so dark. But I assure you, my tank looks a fruit market at high noon on a clear blue sky day. The weak point on the WA is they are fan cooled and is a failure point of the light.
  12. Never used or seen Ledstar, but have WeakAqua P's. They look to be both similar in spectrum and WA can pump quite a bit of par. WA is more popular and is catching on fast in the upper end of planted tanks. Here's my AGA shot under WA and a few recent shots with different exposures.
  13. WiFi version is my pick. Can set the temperature range with higher resolution than the non WiFi versions.
  14. I add it and use RO/DI. Doesn’t hurt and just another layer of security.
  15. According to Dennis Wong, 2ppm of chlorine is fatal. Maybe it’s a part of that 5ppm?
  16. Love the charting! Do you have a tds meter by any chance?
  17. I agree with @gjcarew, this sounds like a toxin was introduced. I know here, in the winter, they increase chlorine dosing. I can smell it from the faucet and it irritates my eyes in the shower.
