Very nice set up - I like it a much!

[Wraithio]

Oh now that is nice! Do you use EI dosing for it or one of the many other methods?

[Francesco B]

Thank you very much!

excuse me, Wraithio, what does it mean EI?

[Wraithio]

Thank you very much!

excuse me, Wraithio, what does it mean EI?

Estimative Index.. its where you just overdose on fertilizers to make everything grow madly.



I have a link but I can't post it untill I have 15 posts, and I can't PM :shocked:

[Francesco B]

Thanks,

no, i don't use liquid fertilizers, to avoid problems with crs.
I just use brighty k sometimes, and daily ferzilizer for dennerle nanocube ( something like 1 time a week).
I used iron botton ada in august, when the tank was empty.

Very nice Francesco!
I like so much this tank... and you know that I'm in love for your calli!:joking:

hard work, lots of patience and balance can make these wonderful results!

[Wraithio]

That is good going then. I have heard of a lot of people have issues with CRS and high dosing regimes! Breath of fresh air to see someone get good results without having to dose like Dr Frankenstein :D

[Francesco B]

lol thank you mate, i'm flattered :D

Very nice tank indeed. Are your Boraras brigittae in full colour yet or have they become washed out due to higher level lighting? I use to keep these little gems (in a group of 10+) with some of my shrimp, but now I only keep Ottocinclus with my shrimp .A++ for scaping and and overall design :D!

Best Regards,

Stuart

[Francesco B]

I agree with you, i think is because of the light :(
maybe i'll better to remove them, but i'm affectionate :(

thank you,
best regards :)
