Using the EI method don't you still dose daily alternating between macro and micro?

What I think brookster really needs is an automated dosing system. I think it would go well with those new fancy lights!

I'm going to do a little reading now, would you mind detailing your weekly hit for comparison?

40ml micro, 40ml macro, 10ml seachem flourish iron. All at once. Does cloud the tank slightly for an hour or so but i can live with it

So I could just use my current micros and macros, just up the dose? Done!

I wonder if you need to work your way up to once a week. For example dose both 3x a week then 2x etc so the fish get use to it.

Sk3lly do you think iron has a toxic threshold? What amount off ppm of iron would that be??

I am dosing 1ppm of iron daily with the occasional extra squirt with no ill affects....

Iron does have toxicity to it. Don't overdose. Do Not mix anything with iron with Seachem Excel. It breaks the chelation bond... Very toxic

I mix glut with iron once a week??

And you mix glut with your micros.... Id have to read a thread that discusses it.

If true it could be something to look into for my tank, i was overdosing iron and glut. I still would like to see some proof or discussion. Ive heard dont mix phosphate and iron but not glut...
