I have a limited knowledge of plant keeping and if you could see my tank you would agree!.
But, allowing for that, I've come to believe that giving aquatic plants the required nutrients was absolutely essential for long term success.
To achieve this, Tom Barr's EI method of a rich water column nutrient dosing regime (with a large weekly water change) seams to be the best and most successful method.
Many aquarium plant growers achieve great success this way.
But I have also read about something called 'nutrient toxicity' over the last 10 months and to be honest, I don't understand it.
I thought EI gave plants everything they could ever need under any circumstance and a large, weekly water change, re-set the tank parameters as it were.
So, if the above is correct, how can any nutrient in a planted tank become toxic?.
