    My LFS in Alabama started carrying Tropica 1-2 Grow Cultures and I couldn't be happier! I got crypt wendtii 'green', taxiphyllum 'spiky', and pogostemon helferi. I waited years for this day! Thank you for all you do at Tropica.

    So true about the regular feeding! My Amazon frogbit roots kept dying back between twice-weekly water changes, couldn’t work out why. Turns out they eat like kings! A squirt of the premium once a day and they’re doing great, not only that my tiny buce has four new leaves, my bacopa has grown an inch, and my previously slow tiger lotus has gone absolutely crazy! All in the space of just a week. No CO2 injection either, it’s a magic potion 🌞🌱

    Hello. I wonder if you could do a more in-depth video of using the tropica specialized nutrition fertilizer. You mentioned in another video, that you recommand 5 ml per day in a high energy system tank with 60 l. I'm in the first 7 weeks of a new 60p heavily planted tank and I'm struggling with extreme green algae growth. I'm dosing 2ml per day and wondering if the ammonia from the fertilizer is causing this problem. I also looked at the tropica example aquariums and I'm truly blown away by the amounts of fertilizer you are using in these tanks. Would love to see a more detailed instruction.

    Thank you so much, for this information, I am new to this hobby, and created a low tech planted tank, with few fishes, so for rysome plants should I use the tropics premium or root tabs?

  • @TropicaAquariumPlants

    @TropicaAquariumPlants

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi. Welcome to the hobby! Root tabs give the plant a targeted boost; you'll have to use the liquid fertilizer regardless thus the tabs would just be the cherry on top.

    what would your recommendation be for a heavily planted tank, BUT with also a large fish load. 7%G tank thats just become established i think. so one pump of green and brown per day. see what kind of algae i have after a week and see how the plats are doing i guess.

    Hi Silviu. It is really hard to provide an universal recipe for all aquariums. The best advice is to keep an eye on the development of the tank and tailor the fertilisation process on your plants behavior. As a rule of thumb we follow the guidelines described here: tropica.com/en/plant-care/liquid-fertilisers/premium-nutrition/

    Hi. Unfortunately it wouldn't be that helpful as each tank needs a rather personalized approach. You can follow the guide here: tropica.com/en/plant-care/liquid-fertilisers/premium-nutrition/ ; consider that some plants might benefit from the usage of nutrition capsules as well.

    In general room temperature should be ok; as long as you do your water changes regularly there shouldn't be issues with the temperature. (and unless the tank is placed in the desert somewhere)

    The impact of fish on the GH value of water in an aquarium is usually minimal, especially if you are performing regular water changes and maintaining the water chemistry within an appropriate range for the fish species.
