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
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.
Apologies for not giving out this info Here it is I have a low tech setup With 2 9w t8 leds 10k each My tank is like a 130 liter. Would fall in the 20 to 30 gallon category For soil it's the ADA one Amazonia i think For filteration i am using a dophin cf1400 uv supports upto 1400lph (i don't know bout how much gallons it is) sorry Plants added are Echinodorus bleheri Jungle val (screw leaf one) Java Fern Windelov Fern Amazon Swords Will add more plants later i know the plants are less so Apologies Stocking 5x Fancy Guppy 12x Ember Tetra 8x Rummynose Tetra 10x RCS 3x Nerite Snail Actual stocking as of now is 5x Fancy Guppy 2 Rummynose Tetra 10x RCS 3x Nerite Snail Will add embers or chilli rasboras whichever is available later Thx for the info will look. Them uo but i cant add excel i think vals don't seem to like them i suppose but will read more about it too
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!
