    Hi

    anyone can advise when is the time to add liquid fertilisers and growth boosters? the product i bought, 3 bottles, from taiwan, indicates to be used weekly after water change. or is it better to add a few drops after lighting for about 10 hours (after switching off light)?

    U just set up the tank rite ? Dont think you should add it now. Nutrient level in the water is prob still high.
    Correct me if I'm wrong , i'm learning along the way too

    If you have test kit for Fe and NO, it will be easier to know whether you are adding the right amount.

    As Simon have say, since it is a new tank, dun add any 1st. Maybe wait for the plant and the bacteria to stablize a bit.

    Some said must add before light on, some said dun need. As long as you add daiy, think result shouldn't differ much.

    3 weeks is very subjective, plant stablize differently from tank to tank..
