Quick update before a light trimming this weekend
Two months ago (more or less) I changed some things in this tank: I'm now using very low EI fert dosing (something between EI standard/recommended dose and PPS-Pro. Basically what I have done is limiting growth rate by decreasing PO4). My Co2 (which I had not changed) seems to match now much better with the light/nutrients/growth level as I am achieving dense growth and I am noticing less BBA/staghorn on lower and old leaves (young growth has always been ok). The only disadvantage for the moment has been some BGA on the foreground probably related with a slight NO3 reduction (can be seen on the picture if you spot the sand): in other words, slower but steady growth.
