Thanks for the reply smalltank. I think from reading a bit more as long as the excel isn't super concentrated when it comes into contact with the moss it should be ok. Since I'm only doing 1mL every other day I think it will be ok.

I guess a small update could be in order. Not much has happened since my plants grow very slow (low maintenance is the goal). This will be a in between shot just showing the added Ludwiga and the little progress of the wysteria. Still waiting on my moss and other plants.

Wysteria reaching for the most light it can get.

Added 4 Amano shrimp this past week to help with algae and they have almost taken care of everything.

The only other new stuff...

I decided that I didn't like the woodgrain finish on the tank and put black vinyl tape around the top/bottom rim to match the entertainment center.

I have a LFS checking their suppliers to see if they can order some captive bred galaxy rasboras (celestial danios). If they can get them I'm going to trade in the Hets, Neons, and otto for store credit and pick up 12 of those to attempt to breed them.

Cheers

I'm going to be posting asking about phosphates pretty soon. Its looking like I have an issue with mine. Its still spiked > 10ppm even after 2 - 2 gallon water changes. All other parameters are great. PH 7.2, KH 6, NO2 0, NO3 5ppm, NH4 0
