NilocG Aquatics | DIY EI Liquid Fertilizer | 500ml Dosing Bottles and 3 Sets of Micro and Macro Packets Highly Concentrated Aquarium Plant Fertilizer for Demanding Planted Tanks

I have a heavily planted aquarium with CO2 dosing and do a 50% water change weekly, which is what is recommended for EI fertilizer use. I decided to try EI dosing and this product seemed like an easy, economical way to try it. I have been using it for a week and I have noticed an improvement on my plants compared to what I was using before this. The plants have been shedding less leaves and overall look healthier than before. The only drawback is that this has to be dosed daily (macros/ micros on alternating days) so be prepared for that. I have set up calendar reminders for now, in the future I will likely invest in some sort of automated dosing system.Edited to add: One month later and things are going great. Plants growing like bonkers and some are even flowering. Zero algae issues now, whereas before I had some issues. Plants shed less leaves and are bushier. At 10 mL dose daily on alternating days I am not even 1/4 of the way into the bottle with the first set of bags, this is seriously cost effective. I had to rescape and remove some plants because I had so much growth.

Plants love the ferts. Only thing about this, hard to dissolve in water. Have to shake a long time otherwise it settles at bottom of bottle. Make sure to use di water.

Great stuff. Easy to use. I have been using Flourish nutrients for years. Always shying away from EI dosing because it all seemed too complicated and I'd prolly mess it up. This stuff my only makes its fool proof, but the results were almost instant! All of my plants look much better a few weeks in. Algae has subsided to virtually nothing. I'm kicking myself for not switching to EI sooner.I'm running high light and compressed CO2.

I use about .6 ml of each formula for my moderately planted 8 gallon nano tank--this will last me FOREVER. Add about 10 ml of Excel to the micros formula to keep it from going bad (as advised by NilocG). :) For those with invertebrates, my Amano shrimp and nerites are active and doing great and have shown no signs of distress or lethargy. I can't wait to add more plants!

I’ve been using this product for over four months with good results, will definitely buy again. FYI: don’t use tapwater it may get funky over time. Use distilled water.

Got some serious growth in a matter of days

Been dosing for 3 months and plants are growing like crazy!

Easy to mix... and easy to use.
