EI dosing in the first 2 weeks

[WetElbow]

Hi
Will be starting a new tank soon, high tech. So usng pressurised co2 and EI ferts. Substrate florabase and will have to use exsisting fish stock in the the new setup. Photo period initially 6 hours.

As I have to do large water changes every day for the first couple of weeks! do I start off initially in the first 2 weeks using EI ferts.i.e dose after a water change. Or should I wait until I can drop the water changes to 2 a week?

Im in the same boat as you, ive just been dosing after water changes. It has to be better than not dosing at all.

Tanks is up and running so I have just dosed after each water change before my Co2 comes on for the first 2 weeks.

You can just do 2X-3X water changes per week. That should make life easier.

Cheers,
