Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have decided to use EI dosing. I have DIY CO2 via mist method and get results of around 45ppm, so even with room for error I should be above 30ppm. I have 1.5wpg, and am reasonably heavily planted with low to medium light plants. One tank is 50gal, and one is 28gal. I have KNO3 for N, KH2PO4 for P and will be getting K2SO4 for K (as soon as I can find it). I have Seachem Flourish for trace.
I've read the EI articles, but am unsure on how to translate this into a dosing regime. Can someone help me? How much, and how often should I dose these?
The EI page recommends this for a 50gal tank, but does this take into account my bioload, or does that not matter? Since I have only low-medium light, would I halve the dosages here? And is his 'trace elements' compatable with Seachem Flourish dosing?
1/2 tsp KN03 3x a week
1/8 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
1/8 tsp K2S04 3x a week
1/8 (10ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change
Thanks!
