i have been using EI for 5-6 weeks in my 125ltr tank two 40w 48" T8 tubes on for 7hrs a day using co2 injection. i have a sand substrate but ive made sure ive littered the bottom with grow tabs.
i have my co2 up so that my co2 checker is on a very light green almost yellow (working through a atomizer on the outflow of external filter), i have seen a improvement in the plants in the way of the leaves are not turning black/dark green but in terms of growth rate im seeing very little change.
the mixture i mix up is as follows and i do a weekly 50% change.
4 tsp KNO3
1.25 tsp KH2PO4
9 tsp MgSO4
Put all this in one bottle and add 600ml
I dose 50ml of this on days 1, 3 & 5
Add 1.25 tsp Trace to 200ml warm water, in a different bottle,
I dose 25ml of this on days 2 & 4
just wondered what if anything am i doing wrong or am i being impatient about the growth?
