Water Parameters:

Temp: 76°F

pH: 6.7

NitrAte (ppm): 15

Phosphate: 2ppm

Plants added:

3 bunches hygrophilia polysperma, 3 bunches elodea, 1 unknown

Notes:

The addition of the new stem plants has really dropped the NO3 level dramatically.  I also replaced the 2 year old CF bulbs with new 6500K "Plant Growth" bulbs and changed the KCl dosing to 1x/day.
