I've started with EI dosing, but what do I do now? The theory as I understand is that once you do EI dosing you can rule out the fertizliers as the limiting factor.
I've also done what I can with CO2 (high flow + aquamedic inline), it goes limegreen in drop checker and plants are pearling 4 hours into the light period. PH does drop considerably from morning to night, which I guess is also a indication of CO2 being mixed in well.
Do I now just leave it as it is, or should I adjust light? I currently only 2 of the 4 T4 39w tubes that I have for this 170l tank.
Or do I still just run on smaller amount of light? How do know I have enough light?
For example the Rotala Indica that I have does not seem to turn red (heavily trimmed it 2 weeks ago), or does it only do that once it gets close to the surface? Each leaf pair also seems quite spaced out.. Is that indication of needing more light?
