seachem equilibrium is just to increase gH and add some (not all) trace element.

1 teaspoon sounds quite alot.
I use it weekly as the label mention but only when I do WC, reason is add some minerals back that are lost during WC.
You can read shadow blog and Barr report on EI dosing. Think shadow is using as an alternative to gh booster.

Thanks guys for the help, will move towards dry ferts when my liquid ferts are used up, then again what's the ideal ppm for n p k , iron and traces? I'm having trouble hunting for a trusty link.
Seachem equilibrium does contain K at 24% , will daily dosing, say a pinch daily, make up for k?
target ppm per week
NO3 10 - 30 ppm
K+ 10 -30 ppm
PO4 1 - 2 ppm
Fe 0.2 - 0.5 ppm
Yes more live stock will produce more N but the above ppm target does not put fish waste into account. Reason being N and P from waste are difficult to control and also difficult to measure. The NO3 test kit that sold at LFS for example, can only measure minimum 5 or 10ppm. It cant measure lower than that .
That is why EI come in handy in planted tank.
