I am setting up a 75 gallon, pressurized CO2, 260 watts, flourite substrate(4"), and will be using the EI method.
First time with plants. I've never even touched an aquatic plant yet. And I've been a member here for around 9 months, go figure.
I have read that it will take a couple weeks for the plants to get established. I'm putting in 50+ plants from the offset and believe that I need to dose with CO2 and use lights of course, from day one. But that I should hold off on the fertilizer for 1-4 weeks. If I use fertilizer before the plants need it, it will encourage algae growth.
Is this correct?
