Well, I finally broke down and ordered a package of dry fertilizer - for my phosphates! I still have a bit of Seachem Nitrate left, but I'm thinking that now that I have pressurized CO2, and if I keep on top of my maintenance and feeding, I shouldn't need to dose N with my livestock levels. I do need K, but I'm dosing that with a K+traces Brightwell product that's worked for me so far, so why fix what's not broken? The green spot algae is getting a bit annoying on the slower-growing plants, so I'd like to knock it down a bit with some added P, and dry ferts are really the most economical. A pound of the stuff should last me approximately forever, I'm hoping.
My angelfish is doing quite well - I'm really pleased with him, which is great for an impulse buy. I don't have a good track record with those, which is why I usually pass on sales unless I've been planning to buy a particular kind of fish for a while already! On the other hand, the two little fry I got from the store I'm probably going to take back - they're way too aggressive with each other, and one of them came out in stripes! Not a rusty by any means. If only I didn't have to special order real mbuna around here, not even the local fish shop is willing to get me good quality fish, I have to order them myself!
But I did find some good prices, shipping included... so here goes another round of shipped fish!
