First topic message reminder :

OK I've been reading and reading, and I've caught myself in a vicious circle. I need to add more plant matter into the tank, otherwise the fertilizers and fertilization regimen would only fuel algae growth. I can't even get a balance with the few sparse plants I have now.

So if anyone has snail-free plant clippings they can donate, that would be great! I'm in St. Louis, MO

I totally agree with you, just my NO3 test isn't that accurate. It only charts in increments of 5, even though my test tube is always in shades between the chart!

Only caveat to tracking is when you introduce a new plant or remove one for some reason. that would throw off the pattern.

Yeah there are always some misc. stuff that can change but I think for the most part unless you add a ton of new plants at once the system will maintain normal growth. I just took some pictures let me get them uploaded here :)
