okay so I have 2 tanks that both have breeding colonies of shrimp and some plants in them. after lots of research on shrimp it is recommended to do several small water changes per week that are slow drip back into the tank and I would like to try the EI fertilizer method non c02.
My question is that I'm thinking of doing a daily 7% water change that will equate to a total of 50% water change per week. the other thing I was thing to save some time was a little weekly per prep all the water that will go into to the tanks each day with all the nutrients.
so if I want to maintain say 10 ppm's of N03 would I prepared the water with 5 ppm's N03 or 10 ppm's?
I hope this isn't to confusing and Im have troubles wrapping my brain around it.
