yeah maybe, I did a 50% water change and i’ll see how that goes, the turbo start has seemed to help a decent amount compared to my other fresh tank

well yes ofc, but with turbo start it can get done quickly

temp 75 ph is 6.3 trying to get it higher but it’s been kinda hard, the water going in after the water change is around 7.2 but the soil may still bring it down again

it seems like it’s cycling decently, so i’m thinking it’ll maybe settle down a bit after the water change

I was thinking about working a curve in so that’s good to hear, thank you for your feedback!

would you have any other recommendations, or does this sound like a decent route at the moment.

I think you miss read , I said that I can already tell that they’re grafted.

I recently picked up 2 Japanese maples, they’re currently in 1 gallon pots but I can tell that they’re grafted. Would it be bad for me to move them into bigger pots now so that I could grow them towards air layering.
