Need Help With Dosing

[rebellonik]

Hello guys
I am fairly new to dosing of tanks in all my previous tanks i used to only add liquid carbon have never had to try dosing in my case im seeing yellowing of my plants leaves so from what i read there is a shortage of some macro and micro nutrients
My question here is do i dose weekly or daily
And which one do you suggest

What plants, lighting, and substrate do you have?

I use only Seachem products. they have a very fast absorption rate. Flourish weekly, Flourish Excel daily, Flourish Iron weekly, Flourish Potassium weekly, Flourish root tabs every three months. My water is RO/DI remineralized with Flourish Equilibrium.

Vals can be acclimated to Excel but it is a long drawn out process.

Nice Tank. I began this "Underwater Gardening" journey a little over a year ago. Still consider myself just an "Algae Grower" (well maybe a step above). As mentioned just start out slow. I started with Seachem Flourish and root tabs, follow the suggested dosing. Let it grow for awhile and see what you have. Plenty of "Veterans" here to help.
Just remember : Every tank is as different as a fingerprint. (Substrate, Plants, Light, Inhabitants and Water)
Good Luck!
