As stated elsewhere, I went down the low tech route, aquasoil with osmacote, topped with Akadama. I was adding 50% EI .
My "easy" plants got off to a great start, but as time has gone by it has become apparent that some of them were struggling so I took the decision to go down the CO2 route. In the meantime I decided to try some other things, clutching at straws, I thought.. Unfortunately I did the stupid thing of doing more than one thing at once so the results are inconclusive.
I upped the EI to full rates and also started adding Easycarbo. Up to now, the results have been very good, growth has increased on all species.
I am going to set the CO2 up in another tank and carry on with the new regime to see how things work out in the original.
