Anyone using Easycarbo??

Postby scubagit on 22 May 2012 16:36

Hi Folks,
Having planted up my CA tank and changing the substrate to Manado, I was advised to get some Easycarbo as well as the fertiliser as I don't use a Co2 system. (Maybe when winning streak call I might invest!

I was wondering if any of you were using it and how you are using it?? Do you add it straight after a water change (Im using LIquid filter media for water changes) or do you wait.

What have been your experiences using it??

Here's the pics from the CA section as I could link them for some reason.

I'm using it with no problems ( so far) , thinking the recommended dosage is 1 ml for every fifty litres , not at home but using the iPhone . You can go three times this but I would build up over time just to make sure all
Is right. You dose each day

you can do 3ml for every 50L since you've got a lot of plants... make sure you dose daily and dont forget to do water change every week. i normally dont dose Easy carbo the day i do water change, but then i dose PROFITO that day.

Can you guys have a look at this and let me kow if they have any other tips on dosing etc based on the fact that this is a 200L tank.....

I'm using JBL Ferropol when doing wather changes. About 25ml once a week.
Easy Carbo daily about 10ml, given the size of the Amazon Swords.
JBL Ferropol 24, 4 drops daily. It says omn a the bottle that I can give up to 8 drops in needed.

Also using Liquid Filter Media on water changes, 5ml per 10l of new water.

Any thoughts?? Just a little confused in case special precautions need to be taken thats all.

Cheers,

Al.
