    BEST ALL IN ONE

    Absolutely this. The problem when starting out with EI is that it allows for endless tinkering, and so some people tinker (which is great). But that means you look up EI on here and quickly get lost in all the discussions about tinkering. If you're new to it (like me) you probably have to...

    BEST ALL IN ONE

    I'm with @Mr.Shenanagins - tailored to your own water parameters, incredibly cheap, DIY all-in-one from dry powders is surely the best!

    Good EI discussion (split from Paul's 200L journal)

    Re: Paul's 200L, "Punishment of Luxury" Clive, I'm once again totally gobsmacked by the amount of time and effort you are prepared to spend helping people like me with the hobby. After reflecting on your post, I was stunned by how accurately you diagnosed the errors I made that led to the...

    Good EI discussion (split from Paul's 200L journal)

    Re: Paul's 200L, "Punishment of Luxury" Clive! Please, please jump in! You can't offend me (I'm the newbie with bugger-all experience), and if it's Graeme you'll be taking issue with, I''m sure he can cope with a (cough) 'difference of opinion'. :wink: Cheers for the sound advice Graeme...

    Is this guy bonkers?!

    I thought I'd try and beat the asians at their own game - my tank has just gone blackwater with a hefty sloosh of soy sauce...

    Is this guy bonkers?!

    Bonkers. Someone who suggests you try TASTING Excel simply has to be at the very least a dangerous source of information/advice. Plus, Tom Barr says he's wide of the mark in that same thread - I know which of the two I'd trust. Maple syrup is for pancakes.

    Would EI have a negative impact on plant sales?

    I reckon there's a similar market we can look at and usefully compare with - terrestrial plants. As a keen gardener, I know how to propagate, and I swap and share with other enthusiasts freely. But I buy many more plants - and kill more plants! - than most people I know. The buzz of...

    liquid microelement dosing and iron quantity

    Hi, Please be patient - UKAPS is pretty quiet at the moment. I'm sure your queries will get replies fairly soon. I'd answer them myself if I thought I could help! I'd suggest you give them a polite 'Bump' in a day or so, just to make sure people don't miss them as they get back into their...

    when do you start dosing a newly planted tank with...

    Now I'm starting to wade into the deep without my water wings on - But, although excess ferts don't CAUSE algae, once you've got algae (in my case green water) excess ferts give them what they need to flourish - don't they?

    when do you start dosing a newly planted tank with...

    You want confusion? :lol: I'm NOT the person to take advice from, but I started my first-ever aquarium last week, with Aquasoil substrate and EI from the off. I got green water and one of the pieces of advice yesterday from Graeme at TGM was to leave off EI until growth begins in earnest, and...

    Rabbit droppings for plant food?

    I blooming well hope so, seeing as I've just this minute forked out quite a few bob for dry ferts from Fluidsensor, and I'm surrounded by vast quantities of rabbit (and sheep) poop liberally scattered o'er the Lakeland Fells. :lol:
