Need advise on Fertiliser regime

[Mookie]

Forgot to add, adding lushgro aqua and micros now is alright. But remember to do your water changes.

Yeah would just like to keep fertilizer simple, all these chemical terms are abit overwhelming to me haha

Was wondering if you know any place that I can find a table eg. the amount of K in ppm per week etc?

I got the calculator at http://www.fishfriend.com/fertfriend.html
But can't find the guidelines any where

Ya there dead spots by the side of the lily pipe, I set it up like that becos I read in some discussion, this was better haha not sure if it is. But if some bro can confirm, it would be great!

Bro Takashi Amano can confirm... all his ADA gallery tanks have the lily pipe in/out on the same side and the Co2 diffuser on the opposite side. I guess he knows abit about circulation.

Seriously though, any configuration can still work, just depends on how you position it to fit your scape, and how efficient is the overall circulation and Co2 distribution.

Looks like I got to change it, definitely the pro knows best hahah

I target 30ppm weekly. Dosed over 3 times of 10ppm. That's me. Based on my co2, plant mass and lighting. My co3 is the limiting factor.

Is there a possibility of Nitrogen deficiency? As my weekly dosing of lushgro aqua seems to show only 1.43ppm while a website suggest to have 10-40ppm. Can someone advise?

Aquasoil should good enough to maintain the N for at least a year. Probably do trial and error, while following the lushgro instruction dosage. And observe if any deficiency ?

Your plant's is just monte carlo and anubias, shouldn't be too demanding.

Looks like I can save on buying another bottle of seachem

Had an outbreak of diatoms on all my glass, suspect it's due to the phosphorous I dosed. Just did a water change and cleared all the diatoms except for my back fish tank glass, to leave some food for my nerite and starlight pleco.

Will refrain from phosphorus dosing for the week to see if that's the cause.
