Hi, I set up my 100l hi tech planted tank 3 weeks ago.
I've seen strong growth in hairgrass carpet and stem plants and not so great growth from moss and ferns which I assume is fairly normal while they initially adapt.
Around 2 weeks in diatoms and small amounts of BGA started to appear, again nothing too out of the ordinary.
However to make sure I keep on top of this I want to double check my EI dosing and water change schedule, every guide I've read explains the alternate days of dosing and the 50% weekly water changes, along with more regular water changes to begin with.
The thing I'm not so sure about the initial dosing VS water changes. I'm currently dosing every day alternating micro/macro and changing 40-50% water every other day. I'm not having the rest day because there's such regular water changes happening. Does this sound about right or have I missed something?
Thanks!
