I'm running a high tech 90 litre (Fluval Roma). Lighting is 2 x T5 @ 24 watts (I upgraded the stock T8 system). CO2 is pressurized and my drop checker is green @ lights on and limey green by gas off at the end of the day.
I don't manage to get to the tank more than about 2 times a week, so I am finding it hard to keep the nutrients in the tank at a high enough level. My sollution, I'm going to build a fertilizer reservoir and auto add it to the tank with a submersible pump and electric timer.
I will continue to do weekly 65% water changes.
My question is what to put in the fert sollution? I don't want to use 2 pumps and 2 reservoirs so I need to be able to dose allinone (don't want to have to dose PO4 separately).
Can I just work out what my tank would need if I was dosing EI and add it to the reservoir with ascorbic acid and potassium sorbate? The weekly total EI dose will then be added in 7 daily doses.
Comments suggestions and corrections?
