I second that. EI is the best thing to have happened to the planted scene in a long-time.zig said:i have to say ever since i started EI i havent had any algae
There's even less excuses for algae now

As I was reading this I thought you meant doing the tests was the height of dullness and I thought you were about to say "houndour and I really love doing these tests every day". And I was thinking...noooo they are the worst part of fish keeping.I took a full series of tests tonight...the height of dullness for many, but if any of you out there are doing this alongside houndour and I (or are thinking of starting this method in the not too distant future) it might be of some interest!
I ordered mine the same day as ND but mine arrived 2 'post' days after his.I've just had a look at my plants tonight i and I;vegot about 1" growth from most of the plants - and i'd not even EI'ing yet (hurry up postie - my plants are waiting).
houndour said:I dont have a routine. I can't think, I've been going to work early coming home late and I sit at a computer screen all day and I just can't think about how much I need to dose.
I already dosed micros on sunday, so I added macros again today.
I tested PO4 and NO3 before:
PO4: 0.25
NO3: 5
So today I added a bit more of each...
5 ml of KNO3 and
4 ml of KH2PO4
