Re: Wanting to start EI dosing using solutions and dosing pu
I suppose that I am not that worried about being precise, more that I want to be supplying the correct amount of nutrients to the plants, without supplying such an excess that I either get an algae outbreak or end up spending money on an uneccessary excess of salts.
John at AquariumplantfoodUK has been very helpful and has provided me with exactly the information I asked for, so thanks for that.
My last remaining question is if I split the dosing of the macros and micros apart by a couple of hours, could I dose them on the same day, or would I still end up with the possibility of precipitation? This way I would be able to deliver exactly what the plants needed every day, rather than having an excess of macros on one day and micros on the other, with the possibility of a deficiency of either one that is not being dosed on that day.
If I am barking up entirely the wrong tree here please tell me and I will stick to alternate days with a day of rest!
Thanks 🙂
