So I started dosing EI method at the top of the week in order to hopefully help kick my plants in the pants and get them to out compete and get rid of the massive ammount of BBA and GSA in my tank.
Is this going to work? Can I get the plants to eventually starve out the algae, or am I fighting a loosing battle?
4 days into this, the BBA especially has gone nuts and gotten a ton worse. Is this burst to be expected and the algae will soon die away as my plants begin to grow at a speed that will leave me no option to call them anything but "Audrey"? Or am I fooling myself and should run upstairs right now and grab some heavy towels and start a 3 day blackout?
On another line of questioning, i am trying to use up all of my seachem fertz as I wait for my dry ferts to show up. When dosing EI, do I start the week dosing up to the target ppm and then maintain over the week, or should I be dosing up to that number gradually over the week?
Thanks!!
