Hi all
Planning a new set up soon 100x50x50 ADA Amazonia soil, CO2 via in line Aquamedic diffuser, Ehiem professional 31200XET Thermo, circulation pump with Arcadia 4x39w T5's. So I guess from reading here High Tec and plan on trying EI fert dosing using a propitiatory dry mix for macro and micro.
Not my first but hopefully better than the last! Scape will be rock/wood with moss and a carpet plant(s) not decided yet too much choice on here!
A few questions if you don't mind.
Live in Wakefield so the water is quite soft and from tests low in phosphate I've have always maintained using straight tap water at 50% change/week. What do you think to starting up on tap water with Phosphate remover in filter or should I go RO I have a unit but the filters/membrane need changing plus I'm on a water meter and tight!
Also what water change regime would you suggest in the early days and photo period?
PS Keep the spray bar or replace with glass Lily on side "end to end" flow or "back to front" flow with circulation pump in same configuration?
Thanks
Andy
