Hi,
I'm going to do a low light tank with CO2 and some nutrient heavy substrate ive got kicking about spare.
My aim is really to see what I can grow at lower light then to see how much I can reduce my maintance by but I am wondering how much I should expect to need to reduce my dosing by?
Most of the information I read on low light set ups work on no additional CO2.
Am I safe to assume that with heavy root feeders like Crypts i'm planning on using, and low demand mosses + my fish load I'll be fine without adding any water column dosing? Or just target certain nutrients?
As I mentioned earlier since I'm adding CO2 I expect its level should remain stable and I'll keep doing weekly water changes (which make me happy as well as my fishes).
My question is really about what level of reduction from high energy EI levels of nutrient dosing to low energy should I be expecting to do? 100%, 50%, 25%?
Your experiences to give me a gauge on a starting point welcomed.
Best Regards,
John
