Hey Marc...my main scape is a year old...I quit using ferts altogether... Because I also use 2 lights on one tank and from experience 2 lights causes very very fast growth....

I look forward to the day when I can have half the trimming session as this. And thank you for showing the reality of ups and downs. So many times we only see the snapshot framed by the creator. I want to see the process, good and bad, so that I know I'm learning and on the right track. Thank you ❤️

Re: ammonia spikes, I have started using SeaChem AmGuard anytime I do significant tank maintenance - “significant” defined as moving substrate around, big plant trims, etc. According to SeaChem it’s the most powerful product in the market, and locks up harmful ammonia for 48-72 hours (double that of similar products), but it remains bioavailable to the nitrifying bacteria such that it can still be broken down as it normally would. Having started to use this I’ve never experienced any adverse effects from ammonia spikes on livestock, even when making major changes to scapes (which includes dosing the tank prior to pulling everything out and lowering the water in order to net them out). Even with consistent/ideal water parameters in the day to day, I think it’s a reasonable insurance policy to keep on hand to manage the unexpected.
