I got my K2SO4 and KNO3 from Navlets in Pleasant Hill. The K2SO4 is
made by GreenAll and called Sulfate of Potash 0-0-50. The KNO3 is Green
Light Stump Remover. Here is the link to Navlets locations.

half hour and I look forward to the next one.
As a follow up from the macro group, I have been trying to find
potassium
sulfate from the local nurseries but have been striking out. Does
anyone
know of a source in the East Bay? All the plant nurseries say that our
soil
has plenty of potassium, so nobody needs to fertilize for it. Even the
hydroponic places I called didn't have anything. It was easy to find
the
phosphate source :)
Thanks again, and see you all next time.

Thanks much for the feedback Cliff. There are definitely lots of
lighting
options out there... and more light necessitates a little more attention
to
nutrient & C02 conditions. Higher-light tanks are a bit more work to
maintain, at least initially.
But the results can be fantastic.
We'll do lighting at the March 7 meeting!

I think people need help in figuring out whether they need strong
lighting
and dosing. I've cut light to 1 watt per gallon and a lot of cool plants
still
grow, and no more algae problems. In the room the tank looks nicer now
that it's not so blazingly bright. Thanks for doing the study
group...there
seems to be a lot of interest.
