lushgro fertilizer for plant tank?

i think I will be like per dosing 26ml for 3x a week .as my tank is 790 litre.what your tank size?

Mine is just a 20L tank and I have been dosing 4ml 3 times a week alternate days.
I dose that based on some ei calculator. I guess that explain why my last water parameter check. My nitrate Lvl is about 80ppm.
At least I still have no fauna yet.

I think u don't need to dose so much

Yea. I guess 0.7ml 3times a week will do the job.

based on 10ml -> 100L = 30ppm, you only need to dose around 0.7 ml each time.

Thanks shadow! I have been dosing it wrongly for two weeks Le. Will there be any adverse effect on my plant growth? I still don't notice any algae as of now. Should I do more water change to bring down the nitrate level to around 30ppm?

nope the plant would be very happy , I miscalculate dosing for couple of years, I was though 30ppm is daily target . The nitrate level is high above test kit can measure, which is 160ppm. Plant healthy, algae non existence but cherry shrimps start dying that is when I re-read EI and discovered 30 ppm is weekly dose

Haha. Poor Shrimps. But wouldn't there be excess nutrients which algae will make use of with the inaccurate excess dosage?

Hi shadow so mine tank is 790 litre ,so am i looking at 26ml per dose?3 x aweek to achieve 30ppm?

I do not believe to limit algae grow by limiting the nutrient. Freshwater algae is single cell, based on its dry body mass, it required negligible amount of nutrient to grow compare to plant. How are you going to limit nutrient where its needs are negligible?

I have never thought of it this way. Thanks for the elaboration!
