How to keep plant alive for a week without dosing?

**fookie** · 29th Jul 2013, 12:00

Hi,

I have a 1.5 ft planted tank running on 24W PL and CO2 injection. Tank does not have any base fertiliser and is currently dosing with Seachem liquid fertilisers. Livestock is cardinal tetra and cherry shrimp.

I will be away on business trip for 9 days, how do I keep plants alive without fertilising during these period. Lighting and CO2 timing can be adjusted as both are on timer.

Thank you.

what plant that you have? which seachem fert that you use? what soil that you use?

Staurogyne, nana and banana plant. Seachem nitro, potassium, iron, trace and dissolved KH2PO4.

Japanese substrate, green packaging forgot about the brand. Thanks

your plants not demanding, you can just dose 1 week worth of fert before you leave for holiday.

You could try popping tablets that dissolve slowly over a week.

It's available at Seaview. Maybe Nature Aquarium too. Or That Aquarium at Yishun.
