Beautiful tank, thanks for posting!

Your tank is so sick. There's so much going on plant-wise in there, looks fantastic.


Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

Hey, thanks everyone,....I got a lot of my ideas from ya'll though. I switched over to the ei form of dosing instead of the pps-pro. Lowered my light intensity on the e-series down to about 80%...... growth is still explosive....

Do you think that EI is more effective than PPS-Pro?

Yes I do..I can see a big difference in plant growth. I can tell the plants have a very healthy..sheen..?....on them. I like the thought of not limiting the plants their nutrient uptake....plus I already do 50%+ water change a week anyway.

When you converted to EI, did you buy new ferts or just make up new solutions with the existing (assuming PPS-Pro) dry ferts?
BTW TOTM quality tank there.

And how do you dose that? Dry? From the PPS bottles with higher dosings? I might convert to EI myself when I get my tank fully planted.

I used the same pps pro pack and dose it dry. Its hard to get salts,.especially the k2so4,..to dissolve in 500ml to get the correct ppm,..unless I dose like 30+ml.... I don't have any issues dosing dry. The 75+ inhabitants don't pay the salts much attention..and so far I really like the results....
