Can you keep this solution prepared in containers for few weeks?

Do you think the 2 solutions (macro and micro) can he mixed in 1 container?

You will need to keep your Macros and Trace mixes in separate containers, i make 500ml at a time, at 20ml a dose, 3 times a week that's enough for just over 2 months, i have had no issues keeping it this long.

when you say deficiency what are you looking at?

You will get to know your plants the longer you live with them and be able to spot anything lacking but as a guide this the type of things you need to keep an eye out for.

For me Phosphate and CO2 deficiencies are the most common, especially in areas of low flow so keeping an eye on circulation is a must.

Thanks, The Twinstar 900S comes on at 3pm and ramps up from 0-60% for 1 hour then stays at 60% until 9pm then ramps down to 0% and finally off at 10pm, so 7 hours in total but only 5 hours at 60% (Hope that makes sense)
The first month the timings were the same but only went to 50% then increased 5% per week until we are where we are now. I think this moderate light, high Co2 and dosing full EI from day 1 is why i have had zero algae issues :thumbup:

Did you place the moss on the wool and then tie it around your rocks? In terms of maintenance, is this style of scape more difficult to maintain in the long run?

The moss was tied directly to the wood, i did not use any wool. as for maintenance the plants get a trim every couple of weeks so not difficult or time consuming, in fact that is my favourite part 🙂

How did you grow the Hydrocotyle on the branch? Did you glue it on and then leave it to grow?
