    I have a custom bowfront 4ft tank which should roughly be 72 gallons. I acquired some KNO3, K2SO4 and Iron powder but am not sure how to dose. I am following Chuck Gadd's calculator but it doesn't say how often to dose (it depends on plant uptake I assume)... Tank is fairly heavily planted and less than 3 WPG. CO2 is 3bps.

    Sun - KNO3 (0.5 teaspoon) + Fe (a pinch?)
    Mon - K2SO4 (1 teaspoon) + Nutrafin Fe Trace (1 cap)
    Tues - KNO3 (0.5 teaspoon) + Fe (a pinch?) + Epsom Salt (1 tablespoon)
    Wed - K2SO4 (1 teaspoon) + Nutrafin Fe Trace (1 cap)
    Thurs - KNO3 (0.5 teaspoon) + Fe (a pinch?)
    Fri - K2SO4 (0.5 teaspoon)
    Sat - after WC I add I cap Ferropol (K + Fe)

    Please tell me if I am making a big mistake...

    Would suggest you perform at least another WC in the mid-week. This will keep the nutrient level in balance. Refer to the EI for a better idea on how to maintain the nutrients at acceptable level.
