Right then, i guess there is a few questions here and im sure ive confused myself somewhat. But here goes, ive read lots about EI dosing ( which seems to be the most popular method ) also a fair bit on PPS, i can understand the differences, but the method i use is i just test the water for FE, K, NO3, PO4, KH, GH and CO2, researched some ideal \ optimum levels and worked the uptake by the plants and dosed liquid fertilizers accordingly. After testing some different brands of fertilizers found the one which seems to have the closest balance to my requirements \ uptake and dose with that. So i dont really use either method which everybody else talks about , would i have better results using either EI or PPS? I get the feeling like if it aint broke dont fix it, but does anyone else do anything similar? Or do most people just use tried and tested researched methods? It seems logical to have a consistant level of the fertilizers without having to 'overdose' and then do 50% water changes every week. I do water chages every week ( or most weeks ) just for good practise and the fact that i do have quite a number of fish as well. Thoughts \ suggestions appreciated and welcomed.
