Based on your pictures, I think you're missing one or more essential plant nutrients. To ensure good growth, your fertilizers need to have nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, and molybdenum. If any of these nutrients are ...

I'd like to get some more information to help you out. What's the pH, GH, and KH of the water in your tank? I know the rainbows and platies need pretty specific conditions - the rainbows need a GH above 150ppm and a pH above 7.0, while the platies need a GH around 200PPM+ and a pH above 7.0. On ...

I've just done a 75% water change, and also added Tropica nutrition capsules - I planted three of them in the tank.

I really appreciate the effort you both put into your responses. I was tied up with work, so I couldn't get the GH and KH tests done yesterday, but I managed to get them done today.

I'm in a bit of a panic, so I apologize if I missed this earlier. I won't be able to get an ammonia reading until tomorrow afternoon. Is there a way to determine the amount of salt I should use based on my NO2 and NO3 levels alone?

Is the salt mentioned in that document, the common table salt or is it a specific type that I should look for, I'm just trying to make sure I get the right one for the water changes.

Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it, I'll definitely be sending feedback.

I was naive to think I could just dive into fish-keeping without doing my research - a mistake I won't be repeating. Growing up with dogs taught me to always verify information, especially from those who don't know what they're talking about.

Unfortunately, I'm in Ireland and all the pet shops are ...
