Hi Guys,

(To me its seems Phosphate deficiency)

3. LED Light - Custom made (22 white + 2 blue)
4. Substrate - Platinum
Dosing & Maintenance:
1. 1.5 ml Glut dosing (Alternate Day) (Planning to go for a pressurised system.. need some suggestion)
2. Weekly 40-50% water change (RO Water)
3. Photo period (3hrs + 5 hrs = 8hrs)
Micro Nutrient
1. Seachem Comprehensive (Weekly 2.5ml)
2. Seachem Iron (Weekly 2.5ml)
Macro Nutrient

Mix all of below mentioned chemicals in 300ml of water.

The GSA is an indication of a phosphate deficiency.
