Hello,
How is the level of fertilizer controlled electronically?
I read in Tropicas site this info: "The nutrition content of the water is monitored and dosed electronically to ensure that the fertiliser balance remains constant."
It would be interesting to be able to monitor this in a graph on my computer by using a conductivity probe.
Am I right, if I assume it's the conductivity that is measured, since the fertilizers added are salts they would impact on
the conductivity? And that the conductivity will be affected by waterchange, gravel material, evaporation and fertilizing. If the influence of the three first ones are known, the value for the fertilizer may be estimated?
It is basically the "half life expectancy" I am looking for.
Or is there any other ways to better measure levels of fertilizers in water?
(exept algae blooms )
Best Regards Leif
