    Just started with EI dosing

    Having been around the block a bit, several times I have some experience both good and bad. My issue is not anything to do with EI Dosing or CO2, or light. Over the years I have used just about every substrate available from ADA Amazonia Aquasoil, ADA Power Sand, Powders, Tropica Substrates...

    Relationship between EI Dosing & TDS on the Fertilisation and Hatching rate of Discus eggs

    Hi Manu, You are partly right in what you say. Strangely enough when the discus have spawned, I have left the LED light on at a low light setting for over 72 hours. This is so the discus can see their eggs and fan them continuously until they hatch. Oddly there has been no algae outbreak, no BGA...

    Relationship between EI Dosing & TDS on the Fertilisation and Hatching rate of Discus eggs

    Thanks Mick, The discus spawned again early yesterday morning with a TDS of 185. I was about to do another water change to bring the TDS down to below 150 but decided it was too late, the eggs had been laid so no point in changing water now. The eggs still look quite good so i will see how they...

    Relationship between EI Dosing & TDS on the Fertilisation and Hatching rate of Discus eggs

    Right I have been trying to do some calculations around TDS and the additives that we pour into our tank. So I have done some experiments. Starting with a TDS in the tank of 320 I wanted to see which chemicals / additives were driving up the TDS the most. I worked with 400 mls of water in a...

    Relationship between EI Dosing & TDS on the Fertilisation and Hatching rate of Discus eggs

    Hi All, Those of you who have seen the latest update on my journal 'The Full Monty' will know that I bit the bullet and sold the remaining two male discus I had in my tank. You will have also seen recently the photographs of the proven pair of Super Red Flame Discus in my aquarium. They have...

    EI calculator

    I can feel a Clive moment coming on!! Lets get ready to Rrrrrrumble! I had the same issue when I used the different calculators so I stuck with Clive's recipe for a 20 gallon tank and doubled it to work out what I need for a 40 gallon tank. Personally I would just follow Clive's NPK recipe for...

    Magnesium Sulphate... do you dose it?

    Hi John I have just bought a tub of Epsom Salts from the chemist - 100% MGSO4. Re the above half a teaspoon twice a week, how many litres does your tank hold and how much would I need to add for 150 litres? :? Cheers, Steve

    Bulk Purchase of CSM+B Alternative supplier to AE

    Hi everyone, This probably only applies to anyone who is in need of the CSM+B Trace elements as part of their EI dry ferts dosing methods. I have been trying to get hold of the CSM+B from Richard at Aqua Essentials but it would appear that he is experiencing some difficulties with his own...
