Hi Clive, I have asked a friend who have corn plantation in the region of Bandundu, and he told me that they don't use any ferts in theire crops and all the crops around are not using any ferts. First because it's really expensive to get ferts here, and second because land are very fertile so...

Hi every one, I wanted to know if some one have already use ECA from ADA ? I have 2 bottle of it, and I would like to know how can I associate it with my trace mix when I dose it ? Do I follow the recommended dose plus my trace mix dosing ? Or should I put a bit less than what they are...

Sorry there is some mistakes in my post: "if you don't have the complete substrate range of ADA ( for example only amazonia) you will have deficiency when using ADA liquid ferts" If you have the complete Range of both than it's ok. just adjust you ferts to your light, CO2, and Biomass than it works.

Hi As George says, if you are using full range of ADA substrat (penac, bacter tourmalin, power sand, amazonia) thant you can stick with the ADA ferts range. I have a 85 L tank with just Amazonia and natural laterite and I was using ADA step 1, no bright K for the first month or two it was ok...
