Following EI.

[PeterGwee]

Thanks for replying. Sorry if I ride on this thread.

I have the liquid equivalent (Seachem) of the KNO3 and KH2PO4. If I like to use the EI method for a 50 gallon tank,

40-60 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 1/2 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1/8 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1/8 tsp K2S04 3x a week
+/- 1/8 (10ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change

what would be the 1/2 tsp equivalent in ml?

(The instruction on the bottle says 0.5-1ml per 20 gal 2x a week)

Please help.

Just follow Seachem's bottled instruction to get the required ppm.

Regards

Sorry to cut in this thread for a question :
For EI method do you care what substrate base fert to use ? Or every thing is administrated thru water column ?

Thanks

Imho the base fert doesn't affect things much. It acts as a reservoir for nutrients that run out in the unlikely situation.

Ditto. Thats why juggler seem to do better when he added something more fertile for the substrate since he hardly dose any macros for the water column.
