i understand your statement but it is only true if you understand the media

iron is only held by the clay, it is not clay

iron needs a CEC componet to be maintainde in a tank

clay is that component

Thanks for all the opinions guys...
So basiclly for a green tank, i will need high level of iron and phosphate issit ??
I will try and buy a difuser and connect it to the DIY CO2. I went to Strictly Aquarium today (NSW) and they had a JBL CO2 complete set for up to 500L tank and it was AUD$335... quite cheap i think, what do u think??

[kalebjarrod]

not bad, but go online

you can get some great systems cheap

just do a little research

Basicly you need some levels of nitrate not iron and phosphate like a ratio of 10-1 Nitrate - Phosphate will be a good start and CO2.
Then you want to consider adding trace like seachem Flourish.
CO2 is alway a plus at any lighting level.

seachem Flourish or sera florena is better ???
Thanks
