Ok , could not find the powder in Canada , so I ordered it from the USA , I think I have enough to last a life time ( 4lbs )

I just order a potassium test kit , I will report how it works .

Thanks, ya I can get that on Amazon or EBay, looking for it in a dehydrated form ( Powder ), I take it that no one uses this as a iron supplement up here in Alberta ??

Is there anything out there that works good and a good price ???

Thanks

Where can you get this stuff ? , must be a place in Alberta ? , spent the morning calling heath food stores and pharmacy,s

Thanks

I use the nutrifin master test kit(overkill as i do not need all the tests).I used the kit and saved my plants especially the ludwigia repens from low iron in my tank. Do not own any other test kits.

I have the same one , but I use these for testing iron and PO4 : http://hannainst.com/products/checker-colorimeters/hi721-iron.html http://hannainst.com/products/checker-colorimeters/hi713-phosphate-lr.html

Yes I am feeding ferts , but with not adding KNO3 and KH2PO4 , hints the lack of K , so I have started adding potassium sulphate , Just would like to test to see level.

Thanks Jason, I am not adding KNO3 OR KHPO4 at this time, my nitrates and phosphates are staying in range from the bio load and feeding , and yes I think I may be deficient and did add some Potassium sulphate and plants started pealing , Just would be nice to have a test kit to confirm levels as I rather not over feed as well. My anubias leafs are cupping (had holes , starts off as yellow spots ) and I also have what looks like Diatoms on my Anubias and sword plants , Plant growth is very slow.

Looking at getting a potassium test kit, googled it on the net , looks like there is not many on the market , Here is one that I found : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Easy-Life-TPF01-SW-Potassium-Water-Test-/331991827223?hash=item4d4c414317:g:Y-gAAOSwTA9X9hwP https://vimeo.com/104597562

What are YOU using , which Potassium test kit is the best and where do/did you get it ??

Thanks

Updated pictures

Super nice tank. Great job! I assume you're running CO2?

yes

And very rare showing of my L236 pleco,s ( have 4 ) I have not seen them for months since putting them in the tank

As the title says , got some more plants to go in later.

Does anyone use these , do they work and is it good for the plants and fish ? http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B00WO4K0N2

usually about 150 for babies and 250-300 for adults from what I know. Have you found any yet?

Yes I got 4 in my 230G discus tank

Looking for info on these as for cost ??? not much on inter net as for cost

Thanks

What kind of Cory?

Sorry for the late reply , they are Corydora Sterbai ( Sterba,s ) finding more babys

I live on a acreage about 45 min. south/west of Red Deer , so well water it is , my water is very soft ( Low GH ) but is very alkaline ( high KH ), So i am using 1/2 well water with 1/2 R/O water and was using Seachem equilibrium to bring the GH up.

In looking for a cheaper ( GH booster ) i am trying 1/2 dose with equilibrium and then gypsum powder / absent salt at a 3:1 ratio.

What is the cheapest product to use to increase you aquarium General Hardness ( GH booster //// Cal/Mag booster ) etc.

Thanks

Just thought i would post some pictures of my planted Gecko Terrarium

Some pictures of my Oceanic half moon 72 gallon and my 36 gallon bow front , both tanks are CO2 injected , just starting to get them dialed in , I am still working at getting my 230 Gallon Discus tank dialed in ( had to add more light to it )

WELL it works just fine , the two 6700k 54W compact fluorescent put out much more light the the two 6000k 39W T5 HO , now i have a back up

depending upon cost of the bulb and ballast I'd say at least consider re-purposing the light to a light bulb type that is more common

Was i thought it was only the bulbs, which i already got on sale. ******Is the ballast fpr a 54W compact fluorescent the same ballast use for 54w T5 HO light ???

Just put in some zebra pleco ( L46 ) will see if i get some young ones .
