Hello,
A couple of weeks ago I got myself 6 straight vallis as a test to see if I could start planting my tank. The plants are doing ok and one has sprouted a runner.
I'm using flourish excel to add carbon to the tank and doing so daily (about 2ml). My question is, when I go on holiday for one week, will it be ok to simply not dose the carbon, or should I also lower the photo-period so that they dont need as much?
I'm presuming the more light you have, the more CO2/carbon plants need? Or am I completely wrong?
Current setup/routine is:
8hr lights (2x20w T8s)
1.5ml TPN+ daily (which I can do a full weekly dose of before I leave)
2ml Flourish Excel daily
cheers!
