Ei Dosing And Photoperiod For A Brand New Aquarium Question

[ir0n_ma1den]

k, my plants and my EI fert doses ( bought from greg watson: KN03,KH2P04, and CSM+B) will be coming very soon (wensday or thursday) and I need to know what my EI dosing should be for the first few weeks and/or months, and how long my photo-period should be (with or without a siesta??).
My lighting is 2x 20w CF bulbs and my substrate is Eco-complete and my co2 is a nutrafin kit w/ diy co2 (probably 1/3 to 1/2 tsp of yeast if you needed to know.)
MY plants are riccia, Ludwigia brevipes, and Rotala 'green'.
I have a 10 gallon tank.
This will help out a ton.

thanks

Well the Ei guide should tell you how much to dose to get a feel for things. Read it over and over again until you are fully sure. Have you lights on for 10hours straight.
No point in siesta as it's for people who don't have alot of CO2.
What you want to do is cram the tank full of fast growers and learn how to grow plants before deciding on an aquascape.
