[APD] Using Kent Freshwater Plant Supplement R BGA

[Phil Bunch <pbunch at cox_net>]

I have some Kent Freshwater Plant Supplement with the following analysis:

K20  3%
CU  0.00001%
FE (24% chelated) 0.24%
Manganese 0.01%
Molybdenum 0.009%
Zinc 0.00014%

I have no way of making accurate tests for other nutrients or growth 
factors for BGA but understood from much of the recent traffic that 
increased K levels MAY help reduce BGA problems. The 10 gallon tank is not 
supplemented with CO2 and my Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Dry-Tab kit generally 
gives results of about 30 ppm before a 25% water change and 20 ppm 
afterwards. Fish include 6 Neo. ocellatus (up to +1.25 in) and 3 white 
clouds. Local water is hard with high mineral content.

Would additions of this supplement be likely to help reduce BGA problems 
and if so in what levels?

Thanks,


Phil Bunch
