Do you fertilize every water change?

[philly27]

quick question: Do you guys liquid fertilize every water change? i have easy green. and i do 2 water changes on multiple tanks a week and was wondering your process of fertilizing? should i still do it once a week on the same day? or should i replenish the water volume replaced with doses of easy green?

I just started a 55 and planted live after watching vids on live plants, also bought easy green. I don’t really have an answer but suggest reaching out directly to AC with your schedule and get their input. I’ve needed to ask a couple of things and they got back to me pretty quickly.

My limited understanding is that if you fertilize according to your tank size, plant mass, light, stocking, frequency of water changes and CO2 (or lack of it), ideally your plants will have absorbed and consumed your fertilizer regime until the next water change . Therefore, you dose again as before rather than to match the volume of the replenished water.

AC's recommendation is one pump weekly per 10 gallons if I recall correctly.
