I am still in the learning stage so this is definitely a question and not a judgment. If you changed a larger % of the water it would throw the whole regimen off right?
Basically I am trying to get my tank more dialed in and am trying to decide on a fert. method and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the options. |
The Seachem chart says to do 5% water changes.
I did 50% weekly water changes and followed the dosing plan on the chart. It worked fine.
When I did the calculator, I put in 50% weekly water changes.
You can dose Excel with CO2 if you want, but I would lower the dosing amounts. If you want to discontinue dosing Excel, that'll work too.
