EI

That way I know that my plants will have all the nutrients they need and I never get fooled into thinking that any problems with my plants are caused by any nutrient deficiency.

EI requires water changes but PPS PRO doesn't require that much if not many fish are in the tank. Furthermore, is it not possible that with PPS PRO just the correct amount of nutrients is placed in the tank? I'm just contemplating here and I don't have a favourite one

 

[ceg4048]

What does "correct amount of nutrients" mean? How do you define correct amount? How do you measure correct amount? How do you then ensure it's application?

That will be the first of many illusions experienced by any PPS advocate.

EI is not a formula. It is an idea. You can make any adjustment you want in order to do any level of water changes you feel necessary.
