Greetings all
I have been recently experimenting with dosing Seachem's Advance, a photosythetic hormone supplement for planted aquaria, in the hopes of jump starting my chaeto growth. Anyone ever tried this before? Have been dosing 50% recommended dosage daily with no ill effects so far. May up to full dosages soon. My chaeto, since dosing Iron and Advance daily, has become a much darker, healthier green over the past few days, in combination with 24/7 lighting.
I have had the ball for about 3-4 weeks and saw little to no growth. My guess was too low of nutrients, so I raised my Nitrates from about 2 to 4, through Nitrogen dosing. Also switched to a full spectrum planted tank light (NICREW ClassicLED) in combo with a 40 par red bulb. Going on day 5 now and beginning to see change, so something is working.
