Tabs Or Liquid??

I'm doing a planted 30 gallon tank and was wandering if I should go with Seachem tablets or the seachem liquid dosing stuff. i'm only on a budget of $25 and was going to get API CO2 booster.

 

Well if you have root feeding plants then you should use tabs. For water column feeding plants liquid.

Thats, as refined and straight forward as an answer, can get.

 

ok thanks!

Is this your first planted tank?

 

yes it is! I have also posted another thread on the plants I'm planning to use/ need advice on.

I use the Flourish Liquid and it works really good in my planted tank. I get mine in Petco cause that’s the only pet store around.

 

Save your $25 and get Nilocg Thrive and Nilocg root tabs. It'll set you over budget a little, but both flourish and the root tabs don't contain enough macronutrients, especially NPK. I cannot stress the importance of reading the nutrient analysis of any fertilizer enough. Also, the Nilocg root tabs are $0.23 each, and Seachem root tabs are $0.80 each, for less nutrients. The API CO2 booster is not really CO2 and isn't very effective, like all other carbon boosters out there.

I looked over your other thread, dwarf hairgrass is a medium-difficult plant and likes a soil substrate and ideally injected CO2. What substrate and light are you using?

 

I'm using caribsea flora max with a Marineland LED bright light system
