Sorry,
Forget about the pumice idea ... Getting everyone's tanks mixed up..
Scott.
Thanks again,

A slow down in pearling rates (growth) if the rest of the nutrients like K, NO3, Trace mix and GH(Ca/Mg) are non-limiting. Symptoms on plants vary imo and is not a good method to detect deficiencies. The good about EI is that it bypass that and concentrate on only one variable and the biggest one for plants...carbon aka CO2.Originally Posted by Gan CW

Jian Yang,
I am sorry to hear about the casualties. I usually put Platies in newly setup tank because I have lots of them and also as an indicator of the water quality. Scott could be right, the fertiliser leakage could be the culprit as your substrate is not very thick.
Yes I think I must have disturbed the fert layer when I was planting in the corkscrew vals.
Anyway, everything is back to normal. I added in some Poecilocharax weitzmani, a bunch of Sundadanio axelrodi (blue variant), one licorice gourami and a young Betta coccina (to replace the one that died..).
The fishes are all feeding well on worms and Sera Vipachips. If anything was to go wrong I bet my whiptails will show the first signs of distress. That said, the two fancy guppies in my tank are showing full colours!
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Just did some measurements.
Nitrate is currently at 20ppm so I'm pretty relieved. The problem is, there seems to be a disease within the tank. I believe that must have been the initial problem and the high nitrate levels previously must have made it worst.
So far I've lost quite a fair number of fish. Posted a different thread regarding the disease in Non-Killies Section, under Bacterial Ulcer.
