How to use Lushgro fert bundle?

[greenaqua]

Hi,
My planted tank is about 3 years old and I think the underlying substrate (buired beneath the gravel) is depleted. In addition I had some java fern and anubias on wood that does not have roots into the substrate that needed to be fed liquid fertilizer. Leaves are turning yellow and black hairy algae growing on the fronds. I guess I was starving my plants so I went out to look for some liquid fertilizer. I went to a shop and they sold me a large bag of Lushgro liquid fertilisers including one large bottle (1 liter) of liquid fertilizer (Lushgro Aqua), 1 small bottle of micros, and 4-5 bottles of powdered minerals including Potassium Sulphate, Potassium Phosphate, etc.

So the question is do I add all these into the 3 ft tank? Or is the LGA enough since it also has N, P, Ca, Cu, Mg, etc? Its only missing Phosphate.

Or do I add the LGA and supplement with Phosphate? I have fish in the tank and the Nitrate is around 60-80ppm so I guess I am OK for Nitrate, pH is around 6-6.5 so the CO2 is fine (plus I dose with Seacheem excel).

Any advise?

i dose LGA, LGM and Potassium Sulphate..

LGA takes care of most MACRO, LGM for trace elements, and Potassium Sulphate for K.

So I don't really need the other bottles of chemical powders until I run out of LGA?

Since LGA and LGM don't have phosphate, you can dose your KH2PO4 powder.
