Hello,
I have finally decided to start EI dosing for my 60L (16G) aquarium, but I would like that you guys check my dosing routine (if my understanding and calculations are correct).
So my tank:
16G or 60L
2x 15w lamps so its approx 1.8w/G
Pressured CO2 system (though CO2 level is quite low - 9ppm, increased it few mins ago)
Quite a lot of plants (3 anubias, 1 anubias nana, 2 Pogostemon helferi, 3 some kind stems, 3 something like crypts, and 6 other plants which names I don't know also )
No fishes yet, though I am planing to buy ~6 barbus and 1 fish like SAE but not it, because he is quite aggressive and grows quite big. BTW I need suggestions about this point, how many fishes would be optimal choice?
And the dosing part:
I made 2 bottles with macro elements.
1st bottle contains 400ml of tap water and 7 tsp of KNO3
2nd bottle - 400ml water, 2tsp KH2PO4
I'm dosing 3 times per week. Every time I put 10ml of each liquid.
+ 1 time per week some micro elements (Sera Florena), which I got from a local pet store
and ofc 50% water change.
So am I doing it correctly?
Any comments are welcome,
Thanks!
P.S. Sorry for my language mistakes, English is not my native language.
