KNO3 is dissolved - apparently it's illegal to sell it dry in Canada. But All Seasons does have everything you'll need. I like their trace mix bc the iron is chelated and won't precipitate out when added at the same time as PO4

I tried to take pics for an update but my cam died..

I added a couple of vals. I have never had vals before..We will see if they stay..The crypts are starting to grow..the carpet should be filled in a month or two..the hygro is filled in quite a bit..the ludwiga is really starting to get red towards the tops...

Ill try to add pics later tonight.

I have kind of neglected this tank due to being busy at work...I have some time now so I will get back to dosing and try to turn this tank around. right now there is only crypts and hygro...

Looks great! very nice, simple and clean.

may i ask what your dosing regiment will be?

will it be the same as before?

also what kind of substrate are you currently using?
