Journal 350 liter planted tank

[hamfist]

Apt E also contains all micro:
5ml per 100L dosering voegt 5ppm Kalium (K), 4,6ppm Nitraat (NO3), 1.5ppm Fosfaat (PO4), 0.16ppm IJzer (Fe), 0.4ppm Magnesium (Mg) en daarbij de nodige hoeveelheden Boor (B), Koper (Cu), Mangaan (Mn), Molybdeen (Mo) en zink (Zn).

Ah yes, I see the info now. I completely missed it. You do have to go looking for it though. Its good to know that all the micro bases are covered too.

Whenever I have to pull and replant a group. So not super often, but maybe every two months?

Today i pulled half the plants out and vacuum the substrate.
The plant places was very very dirty
I think i will order some new soil and rescape the tank. That way im rid of the dirt and will be sure the old soil wasnt the problem for algae. Also found a baby barb (still need to clean the front layer)

Cant remember how many liters of soil i used last time. How much do you guys think i will need? My tank is 120x50. I want to use a barrier this time to make the front a bit lower and the back a little higher. I want to use some lave split in bags for the backpart in the High barrier. I already used bags in this setup but the bags was a little high creating not much room to stick plants in the substrate.
Second picture is kinda what i want to try.

If i calculate it, there will be around 40 liters in it. But i think i used way more in this setup

I would like to know this as well. I was thinking of trying to do this with some corrugated plastic sheet and use silicone to hold it to the glass but it seemed like a lot of work.

The dividers

Think they are just called substrate barriers


My no3 seems to be fluctuating during the week while my doser gives the same amount everyday, anybody an idea?

 

[Naturescapes_Rocco]

Is your level increasing or decreasing throughout the week?

Thats the thing. Its both. Its getting higher/lower. But the end of week its higher. So i adjusted my dose from 8ml to 7ml daily

 

[Jarno]

7ml everyday looks perfect so far. Im on 25mg NO3 right now

Let the dark start begin
In 4-6 weeks i will rescape the tank and hopefully the plants will do better after.
I have lowered my daily fert dosing to 6ml now. 7 still made it build up.

 

[Jarno]

What yall think of this layout?
Still have some open spots for some plants but dont know what to get
Any plant ideas?

I’m having difficulty visualizing this along with the substrate picture you showed earlier. Are you going to plant everything in a grid like this?

No the ai made it that way i was planning on 3 borders. One front 5cm middle 10 and back 15. Sorry it is a little confusing if i look back at it myself . I want to use the borders like this in the picture it made now
