Hi guys, Gonna be setting up a 12" cube soon (6.5 gals) and needed help in sorting out the right EI dosage for my tank.
It will only contain Dwarf Hairgrass, Utricularia, Fissidens, Blyxa japonica and Rotala wallichi. Most of the tank is going to be filled with foreground plants and moss and so the growth rate and nutrient uptake is going to be slow, if Im right ?
Now I know an important part of EI dosing is to have excess nutrients, but I am not sure by how much and since my tank would have a nutrient uptake rate lower than, say a tank with more stems I would need a lower fert dosing rate than a more balanced tank.
Basically, I need help determining the fert dosage and dosing regimen for a 6.5 gal tank with maybe around 20 % lower requirements ? I will be preparing stock solutions to a volume of 500ml and dosing with that. The tank will be high light with DIY CO2 and Excel. I realy need help with the calculations cos Im blahblahblahblah at maths.
Thanks !
