[AquaticLife] Plant question
Do you test your nitrate levels in your tanks prior to doing PWC’c? As you may know, nitrate is the end phase of the nitrogen cycle and plants utilize nitrates, phosphates and other elements for food sources. In the “dirtier” tanks, the nitrate levels are probably higher so the plants have plenty to eat. In your well maintained tank, your nitrate levels may be too low so the plants are starving. You can use a plant fertilizer in your well maintained tank to supplement the plants. Many people with heavily planted tanks and limited number of fish have to dose their tanks on a regular basis to “feed” the plants.
Give us more details on the tank size, light bulb type and wattage, etc.
