oh i see what you meant now. i apologize.
should i test on a scehdule for while without dosing
ferts to see what my livestock and whatnot adds in the
way of natural ferts and then try to figure the dosing
on top of that you think? or am i just getting to

i do changes of about 30% every weekend should i up the

water column rather than the substrate as it seems to
make little difference either way.
