yes you can follow their instructions and just keep an eye on your plants, they will tell you if they need more :thumbup:

That's a great starter kit to get you uo and running, everything you need :thumbup:

i am pretty sure it only contains trace elements so it will depend on what your plans are for the tank, if you wish to add co2 and use high lighting then you will need to add macros as well. You may get away with it if you are aiming for a low tech tank ie low light, no co2 and high fish stock...

I thought the question read (above) "My problem is that the bogwood and plants are suffering form BBA" he then asked about ferts which suggests to me he thought the BBA was a fert related issue, i was trying to make it clear no amount of discussion on ferts will cure the problem he was asking...

None of this will matter unless he actually sets up and starts his Co2, it's no good to anyone sitting in the box :shock:

if you want to get rid of the bba your first job is get that Co2 up and running! get your flow and co2 right and the bba will dissapear :thumbup:

I have been using AE trace since 2007 and never had any issues at EI doses

Wow you have made a great job of building that tank :clap: and the fish are pretty awesome as well :thumbup: How much and what type of light do you have over it? Great start but i would get yourself 1 if not 2 decent diffusers asap, something like these willd do...

750 litres! thats a big old tank, are you using Co2? and can we see a pic please :thumbup: If you want to go full on EI then i would dose something along the lines of: KN03 19g KH2P04 3.7g MGS04 33g Trace 2.25g Dose 3 x a week, dosing the trace on a different day and having one day off...

wow James, whata differance :o

Thanks again everyone, i am in London and my tap water tests at 18dGH and 8-9dKH, i'll think i'll stop dosing too! :)

Great! :D Thank you very much :D Does anyone else out there dose it?

Matt - maybe one of us should stop and the other should continue so we can compare the differances 8)

thanks guys, i'm glad i asked the question now! there's no problem with the GH in my tap water and no apparant problems with deficiancies in my plants, so now i'm not sure what to do :? maybe i'll remove the magnesium sulphate from the dosing regime and let the plants tell me if they like it or...

I have been dosing EI using the excellent NutriCalc recommended by Matt (thanks Matt :D ) without any issues except for some minor hair algae on my vallis but i have noticed that in a lot of EI articles i have read lately there is no mention of Magnesium Sulphate in the dosing regime, why are we...
