Re: AQUATIC PLANT CULTIVATION
@neil sir what ferts other dan coconut water do u use ? I personally use agro fertilizer like urea (rs. 5/300g), phosphate(rs. 7/500g) & powdered bones(rs. 5/500g) in the substrate level... But in the water column i just dose K2so4 for pottasium, and glut for carbon.. Can u suggest some cheap but effective ferts which can be helpful ? I have plants only tank.. No worries for fauna...
If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

bone meal is for Phosphates mainly. also these are actually the cheapest ferts or you can use cow or leaf manure for slow and steady nutrient supply.sunny wrote:@neil sir what ferts other dan coconut water do u use ?

I have also installed a 36 X 45 X 45 tank to grow plants in outdoor. The main motive is to grow Lilies.

Re: AQUATIC PLANT CULTIVATION
Vermicompost Soup is very good, but instead of collecting the water immediately keep the worms in a layered bin where the lowest layer is where you will collect this liquid. this is as good as a mix of concentrated ferts.neilthirumuttam wrote:sunny wrote:@neil sir what ferts other dan coconut water do u use ?

Re: AQUATIC PLANT CULTIVATION
yes it would but this is for cultivation only, not for a tank, for a tank vermicompost for the base layer is good.sunny wrote:@vishaal @neil won't compost/vermicompost washed water make water stained or cloudy ?
