Lesson learnt. Dont worry about ph. Ignore ph guidelines on plants. Cheers Ceg Regards Dave

I am still relatively new to this planted aquarium stuff. Guess I have to go through the same stages as everyone else has. Working out what to be worried about and what not to be worried about. Yeah co2 distribution worries me too :lol: Regards Dave

Cheers Chris, I will have a look. Always willing to learn. By going too low with ph I mean I dont want it to go below 6. I am trying to keep the ph where all my plants like it. I have some plants that according to Tropica should be kept above a ph of 6. Just trying to give all inhabitants the...

Cheers Roy for the link. I will take a look. Hoggie - I am only using easycarbo because with my water if I up the pressurised co2 any more the ph goes lower than I want it to. SO using both gets the levels I need without taking my ph too low. Regards Dave

Thanks Chris, Going to have a look at James site right now. Your input is a great help to me. So glad of all the experts on UKAPS. Only got a weeks TPN+ left so want to get everything ready to roll. Regards Dave

Forgot to add: since I already have Magnesium sulphate can I use this instead of the epsom salts you suggested ceg. If so should it still be 6 teaspoons each water change? also already have the K2S04 so if my thinking is correct extra K does not do any harm so might as well use it till my...

Lab Rat thats me. And I like doing maths, measuring out exact amounts. Bit odd I know but it takes all sorts. And I hate teaspoons! Love technical stuff and would sit down with my lovely little scales and do it :lol: Anyway thank you for the info guys I have taken your advice on board. Your...

Hi All, Just about to change over to EI from TPN+ dosing. My aquarium is 400L high lit, pressurized co2, high tech planted tank. Dosing at present 50ml tpn+ daily and easycarbo 16ml daily with no problems. What I was wondering was on fluidsensors website they have a typical routine as...

Thanks for the advice ceg4048. To be honest I am not that prohibited by cost at the moment. And I do like the ease of dosing an all in one liquid automated. Saves me so much time. Coming from a marine background using TPN+ even if at 50ml a day would save me £25 a month! On the marine tank I...

Hi, Just after some advice. My 400L heavily planted aquarium at present has some vallis that is going yellow and a bit of pin holing / dark areas in other plants. I am loosing a couple of vallis leaves a day. Growth otherwise is very good. My question is should I up my TPN+? I already dose...

Thanks LondonDragon for the advice. Yeah it could get expensive using tpn+ but got quite a bit at the moment. So probably start with 20ml of tpn+, knock the easycarbo on the head and see how it goes. When my tpn+ starts getting low will decide on what fert to use. Cheers Dave
