Since EI needs water changes with each dosing, and since that kind of tank shouldn't have frequent water changes, it seems to me that EI wouldn't work. But then, I've been wrong before. That's why I'm here.

My tank gets a continuous water change, a trickle of incoming tap water with an overflow dumping the excess tank water out doors. If this were a low light, non-CO2 tank it should do fine, since the incoming water/CO2 would be a constant, not a periodic change. Right now I use only 72 watts for 45 gallons, so I am approaching low light, but I still use EI and CO2. A soil substrate should work well in this type of tank, I would think.
