I'm going to give this a try. I've decided that by marking a container and diluting my weekly dose so it matches how much water was lost in the previous week I will be close enough.

I guess I'll just look for K deficency and dose if it appears

For reptiles they have a device called a little dripper & a big dripper to maintain humidity, they are basically a bottle with a tube and a adjustable valve. I guess you could fill it and workout an approximate drip rate for it to continuously dose the tank. Maybe add a weekly dose to it and...

I know I have high nitrates already so I am not comfortable about adding more. So if I am unwise and dont dose nitrate, should I dose K separately and if so how much?

I have 40ppm nitrate in my tap water so I don't dose this, I dose P which I think contains a little K. My question is, should I dose for K and is there a way of telling that I need to?

You were definitely right on the DIY CO2, EI WC's are to large and so it takes 2-3 days for the CO2 levels to recover.

Just filled a £10 profito bottle with £2 trace mix :). Definitely no going back to comercial mix.

I've ordered KNO3 and KH2PO4 in addition to trace so there is no turning back. Steve

You win :), I'll contact my local FE company, they've supplied me with 10yr old FE for £5 in the past and you're right I dont fancy having to do regular tests which is why EI interests me. I was looking on ebay and was going to buy...

Thanks Chris, The tank is at the low end of lighting, I use 4 14watt T8 tubes giving me 56 watts for 9 hours per day, Filtration is a Tetratec EX700 and a koralia nano for extra circulation. I used FE CO2 up until about a year ago when I decided to slow the growth and try easyCarbo. Plants are...

I have a drop checker with 4kh water in it :), Currently reading 6.8 or 20ppm, I get 6.6 just before lights on and that rises to no higher than 7 at lights out. I'm finding that feeding the CO2 into the filter inlet is completely disolving the CO2. I have v little surface movement so this...

Thank you, it's probably the first time I've run tests on the tank in 12 months but thought it worthwhile due to the routine change. I now have a plan Sat 50% wc Macro 1/2 tsp K2SO4, a little KH2PO4, Sun 15ml Trace Mon Macro Tue Trace Wed Macro Thur Trace Fri None Based on what...

First of all sorry for newbie quetions. I have a 150ltr medium\low light planted tank which up until 2 weeks ago was dosed using easycarbo and profito. The tank was ok, plants not growing much, not unhealthy. So I decided to switch to DIY CO2 which has given me 20-25ppm. Tank looks much more...

Hi, I'm hoping you could give me some advice as I'm unsure of my dosing regime. I used to dose 5ml Leaf Zone every other day and 5ml easycarbo every day to a heavily planted 150ltr tank 1.5wpg. Nitrate 10ppm, Phosphate 1ppm, pressurised CO2 20-25ppm, Plants fine,algae minimal. When the Leaf...
