This hydro shit is fast acting and definitely less forgiving than coco

now the algea. if its still there in a couple of days then i'm gonna try h2o2.



all in all looking good. this is going to be my last post for a couple of weeks need to wait for an engineer to sort the internet in the new place and they take an age to get their arses in gear. i'll still be taking photos and keeping notes and will update when i get back online
