    Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 125 L (30 gallons*). This dose raises potassium by 2 mg/L. Repeat 2–3 times per week or as needed.
    I guess i'm under dosing,but dosing 1ml per day.

    "Ryno - Apologies :blink1:...and here I thought you were a student.

    Wow, using RO water your water bill must be huge? How much water do you use to generate enough Ro water for your 50% water changes?

    Looking pretty good there, love the look and setup, well done @DewaldC. Do you only use excel or did you convert to CO2?

    To me, this scape is cool with the exception of the rocks to the left in the foreground.

    Maybe remove those rocks and move the plant that's next to the filter, to the front.

    Nice! I was actually looking at the pic in the first post... and the sand looks so 'soft' :nuts:

    haha
