Hi guys
Ive got few questions as I want to avoid any problems such as algea in my first planted tank. My tank is already running from yesterday. There is only akadama substrate and some stones as it was hard to rinse akadama so i decided to do it in the tank by water changes etc. However, water is very clear so no water changes are needed.
My questions are:
-in next week probably thursday I will recieve plants. And is it ok if the tank will be running till that time or is it better to empty the tank and once plants recieved fill up again?
- im going to try with EI method, and from which day should I start dosing? Day 1? If yes then by adding full daily dosage or start with half and slowly increase?
- the same thing with co2, half dosage or from full beginning ?
If you could answer for these question I will be very thanksful
Thank you
Dawid
