    Best way to ramp down ferts in a low tech?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. The whole reason I go low tech is to avoid maintenance, since I don't really have the time to commit on a regular basis. My thinking around the water changes was that in a few BBA threads on here the suggestion has been that water changes often lead to a CO2...

    Best way to ramp down ferts in a low tech?

    Ok, part of my attack on the BBA in my tank is to stop doing monthly water changes (30%) and instead just operate on a "top up" basis. To do that, I probably need to drop my dosing level. At present I'm doing 20ml for 190l every week of all-in-one ferts (James' recipe #3). Given that the dose...

    My new low tech attempt

    I've been thinking more and more about going high tech because I'm getting annoyed with limitations of being low tech. Having seen your journal Faizal, I realise I'm completely misguided! I've been trying to figure out a plant list left to right, but not doing that well. Could you help please...
