New setup. Please give advice.

Here's what I'm starting with:
Crinum calamistratum
Cryptocoryne wendtii
Microsorum pteropus
Ludwigia repens
Sagittaria

You'll have no problem with any of those plants ewurm.

I know I won't need any nitro ferts. How much Florena should I be using?

What is florena?

 

[ewurm]

What is florena?

It's from Sera. It's liquid trace elements

I just used the dosing guide for liquids ferts in the sticky. Seemed to work really well.

It's from Sera. It's liquid trace elements

It's also hand lotion, if you search just "florena"


And it's cheaper than the fertilizer stuff



How much does it say to dose?

Perhaps you are overestimating my abilities.

5 ml for every 20 Liters (5 gallons)

You should probably start with that then, dose every other day, and when you run out get some plantex CSM+B

Half a pound will last like 2 years and costs $10

Also, I can't keep swordplants because the loaches eat them.

? seriously ?

it's just that I've always kept loaches in my planted tanks - - clowns, yo-yos, zebras, etc. - - and never had a problem keeping them with swords . . .

is this something you've actually seen them do?
