Water change?
Dan Crawford said:That sounds dodgy pal, i'd get another kind of test and try that. Your tank is clearly doing well so try not to obsess too much about it! Four 50% WCs in a week would be too much, no need mate, surely there is something wrong with the tester.

Well.... gosh... heck yeah, I'd keep adding more until adding more didn't result in any more improvement. That's when you know you have presented the plants with unlimited availability of ferts. This is the credo of EI. But then again, I'm a fanatic as you well know.saintly said:JAmesM said:Bin the test kits anyway
done!
actualy, today the tank looks amazingly clear and vibrant more than usual! i acidentily spilt TPN+ in yesterday (lid was off the other side) there must of been at least 20ml go in. ive left it and today every plant looks stunningly green.
now i know i wont dose 20ml everyday, but this tells me my plants want more ferts....would you say folks? what do you reckon clive? 😀

Then slowly add more light and CO2 so that you just have the extra lighting on for a few hours at first for a few weeks, and then later extend this duration. This enables you to see trouble coming and to take appropriate action before things get out of hand.
