I am installing a huge 5.5 metre long, 14,500 litre planted aquarium at the moment.
My question is regarding EI fertiliser dosing. No off the shelf fertilisers are concentrated enough to provide sufficient macro and micro nutrients. However, I will still need to increase the dosage of EI powders per litre of solution to ensure I don't need to use litres of ferts every day.
I will be using a dosing computer with peristaltic pumps to ensure regular dosing.
1. Does anybody know the maximum amount of grams of EI powders per litre of dosing RO water I can use to ensure they remain in solution? Ideally, I would like to have a minimum of one week's worth of each solution attached to the pump. There is probably enough space by the sump for 4 vats @ 10-15 litres each. I hope this will be enough.
2. Also, has anyone any idea how Lisbon aquarium doses their aquarium? Would be very useful to know!
