Hi All,
I do regular water changes and try and maintain my tank the best I can. CO2 and lights are on timers which makes life easy but I’m awful at remembering to dose EI every day.
Would I be better just dosing the full weeks worth on a Sunday (with Trace in a Monday) rather than frequently missing doses during the week?
My plants don’t pearl so I think its either my poor dosing or not having enough light. Tanks specs as below.
160L (120*30*45)
Eheim 2076 to the spray bar the length of the tank with a hydor external heater
Aqua One Aquis CF1000 with an Aquamedic 1000 reactor (balls removed and a nano diffuser inserted into it). This discharges at the bottom of the tank for max C02 dispersion. C02 starts and ends and hour before the lights going on/off.
I also have a Hydro Koralia at the other end of the tank to draw C02 down that end. Turn over is upto 26 times any hour.
Lighting is 2xT5 54W Arcadia over the tank luminaire. (I have the option of running 4 tubes). Lights are on 8 hrs a day.
Dosing is meant to be the below 3 times a week
1/2 tsp KNO3
1/8 tsp KH2PO4
1/8 tsp traces
Thanks for your help. Piper
