 Do you have a base formula that you follow, i.e.. 10 gal., 20 gal.
etc.?

For the 65 gallon tank:
Add the following:

1/2 teaspoon of KNO3 dry powder 2-3x a week.
Add the trace mix 2-3x a week(about 2-3x what the recommended amount is
on the
bottle likely about 10mls).
Add more CO2.
Add some MgSO4, Epsom salt(about 1/4 teaspoon) after a weekly water
change(50%
of the tank's volume). Add some CaCO3(about 1/4 teaspoon)after the
tank's
water change.
Add 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of K2SO4 after the water change.
Having more KH/GH will not hurt, having too little will.
CO2 is based on the fish and pearling.

One other item.

Add the trace mix 2-3x a week(about 2-3x what the recommended amount is
on the
bottle likely about 10mls).

Adding trace, is this total volume of water or just the 50% water
change.


What is pearling

Thank you
