I'm currently using EI to dose my tank, however I have just realised I could of been under dosing as my tank is 50 US Gallons (200 litres) rather than the 40USG I thought it was.
So I have increased my quantities 2.5x of that from the recommended 20USG so i I will be using:
3 doses of NPK per week
About 5.5tsp KNO3
About 2tsp KH2PO4
15tsp MgSO4
Now this mixture must serve 12 doses so each dose is 600ml/12 = 50ml
CSM+B 1.25tsp to 200 ml of water and dose 25 ml two times per week.
So
Sunday: 50% water change and NPK
Monday: CSM+B
Tue: NPK
Wed: CSM+B Then 30% water change
Thur: NPK
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest
My question is, because I'm doing a mid week 30% water change (I have discus) should I dose on the rest days?
I'm not sure what's best.
Thanks
