It’s low on PO4 and K. Be prepared to have to supplement those.

Ok thanks!!!

You might need some root tabs as well. What kind of plants you got in there? As some stem plants need root tabs.

Push all the tall plants back and everything else forward.

Yes. Agreed

I used the Co-Op fertilizer capsules in the substrate around the plants.

That whole 1 pump per week per 10 gallons confuses me.   It ends up raising nitrates3 ppm…

Maybe the thought is that the "rest" of the nitrates would come from fish waste?

Semi-serious suggestion: (carefully!) spin the tank around.

I would think that would only happen with some combination of rare small waterchanges, overfeeding, high bioload, sparse planting…

 

With my plant and fish load, nitrates decrease over the course of a week even in my non CO2 tank…

Unless I am looking at it wrong, the tank is seen from both sides. In which case, plant like an island with tall plants in the center.
