Hi all
I'm fairly new to this planted tank lark (about 2 months now), and having read about EI, it is now an avenue I wish to explore.
As this place is a mine of information with a lot of knowledgeable people here, I thought I'd just check with someone before I started my dosing regime.
The Nutri-calc calculator which was recommended by someone on here gave me the following results for a 180 litre tank.
2.66 grams KNO3
1.22 grams K2SO4
0.75 grams KH2PO4
6.89 grams MgSO4
This lot to be dosed Saturday (after WC), Monday & Wednesday
and
0.47 grams Trace
to be dosed Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday.
No dosing Fridays and 50% water change on Saturdays.
Do these numbers sound right to you people in the know?
Also, is there anything else that needs to be added?
I'm currently using Tropica's TPN+ and adding 5ml Easycarbo daily, so if I switch to dry ferts would you recommend that I carry on with the Easycarbo?
These maybe back to basic questions for you guys, but it's all new to me :?
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
