Ada ECA

[valice]

Those who are using and have used before ADA ECA, how often do you dose them?

According to the instructions, as per my understanding of what is written in Japanese, it seems like it is once a week. And essentially, ECA is concentrated Iron with something else.

Or do you supplement with other Iron formula, given that the each dosage of ECA is pretty high and the cost.

When i was running the 3footer (50gal) high tech tank.. the ECA i only dose once weekly everytime i water change. Each time i dose about 60-70 drops?? haha.. cant remember liao.. Still it last me about 3-4 months.

For 2footer (15gal) high tech, i with the same frequency but only 15 drops each time... this way it last me about a year?
For low tech.. don't say.. even less than that (about 15 drops PER MONTH) and the bottle last me years!!

So after calculation.. its still qutie worth it for me.

But you still dose Seachem Iron on other days? Or that basically handles all the iron?

I am dosing the ECA in those amounts now. About 15 drops too.

No.. during those times i only use florish. An the usual macros Po4 and No3.
My formula is Po4, No3, Flourish and ECA/green gain

Haha, I must be rich! I take the bottle and squirt twice!!! Lol. Every two days for my 270L tank.
My 450L tank is one long squirt because the lighting is lower than the 270L.

Runs out in less than a month. I only do this because my needle leaf JF is a bit yellow and the red stems need a boost.

You must be damn rich!
