I read and read about EI ferts and the more I read the more I seem to confuse myself. I have a 46L approx, I think it is moderately planted ( may be wrong, might be heavily planted have c02 injected approx 2/3 bps).
I currently dose 12ml a day but think maybe need more, but how much more???
Do I need to add more of 1 specific salt or take 1 salt away?
is there away to find what I am, or if I am lacking in a certain salts.
I don’t want to just have a planted tank that is not growing to its full potential.
I am using Twinstar 450s, on at 3pm (c02 on 3 hours before) 20%, 4pm- 40%, 5pm-55%, 6pm-75% then same intervals back down till lights off (c02 off 1 hour before light)
The plant on back left (not sure what it is) has been trimmed back and re planted but noticed that the leaves that are coming through seem to be screwed up and miss shape.
Bacopa Australis after cut back and replanted seems to have gone like a string vest. Ludwigia mini super red after lots of melting has started to grow back.
Pagostemun Helferii seems to be bouncing back and everything else is growing very well.
Tropica substrate with aqua growth soil(Bacterkit soil).
been set up now for 25 days.
any advice would be much appreciated TIA
