100L Island

Finally got a smaller heater that fits into my sump.

 

Started selective EI dosing.

 

Added more light to the tank and Rotala rotundifolia,Mayaca fluviatilis.(still need to plant it):amuse:
Will see in a couple of weeks if it makes a big difference.

 

Your plants are looking extremely healthy, well done!:nuts:

 

Aponogeton boivinianus.

 

Did a small rescape.(ignore the sword plants):amuse:

 

looks like all the plants are doing good?

 

EI dosing is the bomb.:nuts:

 

Yes, if your tank is less than 100l! 50% water changes on big tanks does not sound like fun. And besides which, has anybody worked out the cost comparison of throwing 50% of your tank water into the garden weekly verses the cost of normal ferts? Unless there is an advantage to EI other than cost? Am I missing something?

 

hmm i do 50% weekly wc on a 450L tank and a 320L tank

 

But @Ryno - You don't pay the water bill :laugh:. Thats 385l of water every week! Eish!

 

Can you elaborate on this or supply me with a link about this please?

Kwel i registerd. :beer:

 

Your plants grow faster.:bigsmile:

EI is a dosing method(i use seachem).

 

Shows what I know:blink1:. Never bothered reading as I like the dosing as per the bottle routine. So from your statement is it safe to say that you are overdosing with Seachem Ferts and doing a weekly 50% water change to reduce the overdosed quantities?

 

I do a lean EI dosing because it's a low tech tank.(e.g I add 5 ml seachem potassium per week)

 

I can't remember the dosage instructions on the bottle. Is that more than the "beginners" instructions?
