Thank you so much for all the information my friend I truly enjoy what you do for the hobby may God continue to bless you and everyone around you be safe my friend
When you have a degree in Horticulture but still need to check out this video 😂 the plants aren't so hard, it's keeping the fish alive too. Great video
I just love these videos. lucky Tropica for having you make these insanely awesome videos George!
Here after watching MD, thank you for supporting his channel. I have learned A LOT about how to properly care for my aquatic plants, which has dramatically improved my aquariums :)

My God, those are gorgeous tanks. That's all the sales tactics needed.
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.

Great to hear!
Very informative as usual Mr F .
Loved this video! Would love to see more on the System Nano Co2
nice video thanks George
Been using the light for a long time think its great but also use TNC lite also great content as always
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 🌞🌱
Great content and good information as always from you Thank you

Excellent video
Great video the information is great after watching I realized I need to change fertilizer in regards to c02 can you get away with using it every so often instead of all the time thank you
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.
Had only recently found out that I had accidentally used correctly the premium nutrition on my non co2 tanks. Cheers..
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?

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.

Hi George I have just re scaped a fluval fresh 60Lt I am using dennerle 9in 1 Deponitmix professional topped of with dennerle quarts 1.2 mm gravel when do I need to feed my plants as my plants have only been just put them in and give them time to adjust as some are quite rare what do you recommend I will be using quantum Bio - Nutrients with Bio molecules and Bio trace the Bio Nutrients as co2 already in I liked the video and you scales are out of this world happy fish keeping
Hello sr . You didn't speak about when I should start dosing the liquid fertilizer ??
2:24 that's bacopa monnieri right? So I cant hang some parts of it and it'll be fine? I read from some websites that they flower when grown out of water
Plz make daily dose chart
👍
Thnxs! And heavly planted with many fishes? Green fertilizer?
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, could you please tell me what lights you are using for your covered aquariums?!
Nice video 😊 every pump of these liquid fertilizer does dose only 1,2ml. I never had a one with 2ml. So maybe it's possible to use other pumps or correct the nameplate with the correct data.??

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into this.
can I ask when do you know when your tropica substrate is basically to old to supply food to the plants
What if i have lots of fishes and lots of plants, strong lightning and co2 injection? I have both products at home but i am not sure wich and how to use. I can also add separately N, P and K in any ratio or combination i want. Best regards!

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/
When are you going to make a bigger Co2 kit?

Never, because it is illegal to ship a larger cannister than the nano kit cartridge
Would be nice to tell us your own ferts routine

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.
Planted aquarium water temperature is a important?
@TropicaAquariumPlants
3 жыл бұрын
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)

What if you have a lightly planted tank with one fish?
Does this rise GH values for fish?
@TropicaAquariumPlants

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.

Hi. You can read more about it here: tropica.com/en/plant-care/liquid-fertilisers/premium-nutrition/ . The fertilizers should be tailored on your tanks needs not necessarily the type of water you use.
good video but dont like one of this tanks! only two tetra neons and this lonely Gurami? And the Gurami is to big for this small tank... :(
Wish you would just stop using ur tiny co2 bottle and making it Sodastream bottle compatible
