Hi all,

I am starting a new 10 gallon tank. It will have 36watts of CF for lighting. A 2213 for a filter with pressurized co2 via a ceramic diffuser. I am using ADA aquasoil for the first time in this tank.

For the most part this tank will be planted with HC. I might use a little riccia and maybe a blyxa japonica or two.

I'm not sure how soon to start ferts via EI method in this tank. I have a fair amount of hc to plant but the biomass will be low. This will be a critter free tank until I get it going well. I won't have a problem blasting co2 which I hope will help.



Any thoughts about ferts or if I am heading for an algae paradise? How soon to start dosing?

Thanks

P.S. I will use some efhi substrat from an established 2126 to help with the colonization in my 2213
