ACE unsai pasabot anang Ei dosing?. Ei kabasa ra ko ani sa lain forum.

TIA kaau

EI Overview
The Estimative Index (EI) coined by Tom Barr is a straightforward method for providing nutrients for a planted tank. The idea behind EI is simply introducing an excess amount of nutrients within an aquarium, throughout the week. This excess of nutrients floods the water column and feeds the plants. This is an estimative method; measuring specific nutrient uptake rates is not necessary and no test kits are involved. EI provides a surplus of nutrients that helps to prevents plant deficiencies, and allows plant growth to out compete algae growth.

The process of which this is done is simple. Each day fertilizers are dosed, and the nutrients are absorbed by the plants. With this method being estimative, we can dose fertilizers according to general guidelines suited for our particular setup (see below). At the end of the week, one performs a 50% water change to ‘reset’ the nutrient load in the entire system. And then the entire dosing schedule is repeated.

The primary fertilizers are the macro nutrients - Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), Potassium (K), and the micro nutrients – trace elements (Plantex CSM+B, Flourish). Iron (Fe) can also be supplemented if necessary.

The Estimative Index method works best for a high light and well planted aquarium. However it is not limited to lower light setups, smaller quantities of fertilizers should be dosed in those instances.

General Dosing Guideline for High Light and Well Planted Aquariums
(wolfenxxx):

10- 20 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 1/8 tsp KN03 (N) 3x a week
+/- 1/32 tsp KH2P04 (P) 3x a week
+/- 1/32 tsp (2ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change

20-40 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 1⁄4 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1/16 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1/16 tsp (5ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change

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

60 – 80 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 3/4 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1⁄4 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1⁄4 tsp (20ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change

100 - 125 Gallon Aquarium
+/- 1 1/2 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1⁄2 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1⁄2 tsp (30ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change

Example Dosing Regime for 29 Gallon:

Note: K2SO4 is not required for dosing unless you need the extra Potassium (K). This K is found in KN03 and KH2P04. Dosing these two according to above will yield sufficient K levels. Therefore, one will be fine dosing only KN03 and KH2P04, and Plantex. If one needs to increase their K levels with K2S04, add the same measured amount as KH2P04. For example, if one is dosing 1/2 tsp of KH2P04, then dose 1/2 tsp of K2S04. In true regards to EI, added excess K is not detrimental in any event.

EI target ranges
CO2 range 25-30 ppm
NO3 range 5-30 ppm
K+ range 10-30 ppm
PO4 range 1.0-2.0 ppm
Fe 0.2-0.5ppm or higher
GH range 3-5 degrees ~ 50ppm or higher
KH range 3-5

Providing optimal CO2 levels of at least 30 ppm are necessary for plants to prosper and out-compete algae. If algae issue arise, remove all visible algae and infected leaves. Recheck CO2 levels, and possibly reduce and adjust the lighting period.

Direct dry dosing into the tank is perfectly fine. Many dosing straight into the tank, or they dissolve each chemical in water before adding.

Making a Liquid Stock of Plantex CSM+B is more often mixed into a bulk liquid solution since some find it more convenient to dose their trace elements this way. The recipe for this solution is 1 tablespoon to 250ml water is equivalent to: 20 ml = 1/4 teaspoon of dry Plantex. This solution is stored in refrigerators to prevent mold from forming within the container. For making stock solutions for NPK refer here for a resourceful conversion calculator.

@Markykoi
Okay will try to make the letter.
We will be having a get together this thursday night or friday afternoon.

Sakto pud. nahan ko mag discuss sa atong next step aning atong exhibit. Since we have already the commitment of the members. Adto lang ghapon ila Alain siguro, text me sa available time nimu.

something weird happen to my ghost shrimps. . . . di na lge cla ghost. . nulubad na. . haha bading na cla. . naa na yellow sa ila back going to their tales, nya ila tale naa black spots. . nya ang uban sad naa green, nya ang uban ky naa red padung pink. . . WEIRD. . . for someone like me who doesnt know anything bout this type of shrimp . . .

but di pud ko bugo keu. . . hehe. .(ako own explanation) . .they just used their instincts for them to survive they must adopt to their surrounding. . .and to be away from predators, the use the camouflage technique like many other animals and insects do . . they blended to the environment(planted tank). .

not sure

hehehe. . please school me

thanks. .

hala u diay noh! what the hell is happening to me!

@channbear

1 foot raman diay na...and naa sa sulod sa akong mind kadtong tank na naa ila pipers na pahaba... sorry sorry.. my mistake..

pyts na nah sya 1 24W na spiral n sa T5.. murag naai smaller sa 14W na with reflector.. palit ka 2 adto.. ^_~

[DuBciTY]

gamay lang gud nga tank, naa ka? basta dili lang mudako sa 2 feet.

musta na imung marine tank? post pics diri.

musta na?

PRE!! grabeha ka busy sa thread hahaha kapoy kayo apas, okay ra ko bay relax ra diri suroy na nya ko kuyug balik ninyu..nasangit lang jud ko skwela + trabaho pa hehe

wa na bay lata na ako tanke wa nay maka atiman SAILFIN TANG nalang nahabilin karon..reset sad ko padung kay nabakante na ako 30gal na tank..hehehe hopefully by next week ka sugud nako.
