EI Dosing Opinion

Here's the EI dosing regime I implemented. I'd appreciate if you all think this looks right:

Tank: 150 gal. dosed as 130 gallons of water
Light: 4X 96 watt PC (2.56 wpg)
Photo Period: 14 hr at 2 X 96 watts and 5 hrs at 4 X 96 watts
KH = 16
Ph = 7.3
CO2 = 24 ppm



KNO3 = 1.5 tsp 4x per week
KH2SO4 = .48 4x per week
MGSO4 = .48 1X per week at water change

Flourish = per instructions
Flourish Iron = per instruction
Flourish Excel= per instruction

Am I on the right track?

Thanks all!

Thanks Vladimir!

My Ph out of the tank is 8.1 and the CO2 injection causes it to drop to 7.2 -7.3.

I don't add phosphates because I have a moderate to heavy fish and feeing load that adds phosphates...I hope enough. Oh and by the way, my tank is medium to heavily planted. That is, I've stocked the tank wiyh lots of plants and when the plants grow, it will be very heavily planted.

Thanks again

Sorry,

Got my chemistry wrong. I am already adding KH2PO4, not KH2SO4.

 

Re: EI Dosing Opinion

I've adjusted down per your recommendation. I will resit the urge to use a test kit all week until water change!

Thanks All!
