Water parameter context
The water summary uses temperature 20–28 °C, pH 5–7.5, KH 0–15 °dKH, and CO2 10–40 mg/L.
For this profile: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Dosing context starts with nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Aquarium tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
