It's really interesting. I ran out of ferts this morning - I've been dosing 75ml of homebrewed all-in-one daily - today I only had 50ml to put in. Came home this evening to evidence of plants starting to complain - limnophila looking decidedly unhappy and a telltale oily scum with bubbles on the surface. This is exactly what I had when Saintly suggested I upped my ferts, which I did to good effect. I find it extraordinary that the plants can react so fast - if that is actually what's happening.
I've just sat down and carefully recalculated my EI dosing, and I reckon I was indeed dosing a bit lean anyway. So today's new batch will be revised upwards, and we'll see what happens.
Never mind AndyH being hooked when his first tank is so spectacularly successful - I'm hooked even though mine keeps on going wrong!
