I have by no means watched all of your videos, but having binged a lot of them last last few months... I haven't seen anything to know how to "test" for Easy Green dosage. If I do a test strip and then dose my aquarium and wait an hour or something for it to get dispersed, when I do a test strip, what kind of changes should I see.
I've got a pretty heavily planted 10 gallon that I never seem to see nitrates increase in. Just a very very pale pinkish on the strips, I've been calling it "10" ppm, might be something like 15. I've scaled the lights back yesterday and started dosing Easy Green a couple of weeks ago. Lots of hair algae has popped up. It's not a big deal as I'm simply learning. Stock is 8 cardinal tetras, 1 honey gourami, 1 hillstream loach (tiny thing 1" maybe a bit bigger), and five or six cherry shrimp. They're young fish so not to full bio load yet. And most all of them won't be in there here in a few days when I get my 75 completely ready.
