Water parameter context

Aquarium parameters listed here include temperature 20–30 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–12 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.

Check this next: 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.

For this profile: Calculate nutrient dosing.

Care data interpretation

Care data shows easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.

The profile marks emersed growth as possible.

Growth and use data

The plant profile includes propagation by cutting off daughter plants.

Use these ranges as profile data, then compare them with the actual conditions in your tank.
