[APD] soil substrate.
Thank you all for the earnest responses. After a few tank setups disasters
I opted to use less soil and have it look cleaner in the mean time. I'm
sure other factors are at work here also but the plants seem a bit
malnourished to my inexperienced eyes. I try to feed the fish plenty. From
what I understand it wouldn't take that many to supply adequate N and P. As
long as there's adequate K so it's not the limiting factor. I realize N can
be limiting too but i'm ignoring this at the moment. I guess a real
question would be, can the smallish amount of soil I used actually be
depleted of anything in a year?
I used soil from an old tomato pot. i thought it would be pretty depleted
of N and P. And most of the roots can be sifted out. It might not be
optimal but there was no algea blooming.
