    I have a 38g tank with 2wpg of t5-ho. I noticed some of the plants aren't doing so well so I was looking into EI dosing with dry ferts.

    Hello APC... So today I had a little journey to a distant, wonderful aquarium petstore that has 50x more plants, fish, and supplies than any other store near me. Let's just say I bought some plants on impulse; I had wanted them a while before (3-4 years ago). These plants are lilaeopsis...
