Hi, I've been experimenting with easy carb dosing 4ml a day in my 240l tank for about over a month. This is along side marco ferting and 2 T5s on 7 hour timer.
Before Id say the majority of the plants I had were allot of cyrp, Xmas moss, floating plant that would have to be reduced weekly and a huge plant that did well from the left hand side of the tank. I wanted to try carpeting the middle of the tank so bought after advice from my local aquarium easy carb and carpeting plants that would take without too much trouble.
After the initial cyrp burn I persisted but Im not over convinced things have changed for the better and wondering what my next step should be. Moss has definitely decreased I can almost see the underneath of the bogwood it was attached too. Carpeting plants haven't taken at all, the large plant of the right hand side although became lush green and healthier looking
Went seriously weak at the base and leaves would come off from the root. Floating plant slowed down loads although that could be because my red tiger lily has gone crazy mad taking over the top right hand side of the surface. Also the plants directly at the back in the middle of the tank has also enjoyed good growth (sorry not sure on the Id)
