How much traces to add?

[cheeboonyong]

Hi,

I have a question regarding Dr Mallick's trace solutions. The instructions state 10drops/100litres of water. However, what is the frequency, is this per day or per week or whatever? Anyone has any idea?

Dose accordingly, thrice a week.

I second grey_fox. If you find that you can go with twice a week instead, it's fine.

:P better start dosing in proper amounts or suffer like me initially, correct Terence? Heh.

After suffering 5 hours of back-breaking weed/algae clearing. You'd want to learn more about dosing, etc ASAP.

Anyways, you using CO2 tank or low-tech?

Mine is 10ml of Micro per dose, 2 times a week for my 417 litres tank.

I reckon 10 drops is ~ 1ml. IMO, overdosing of Trace is not an issue to the plants, but probably to the fishes due to high level of metal compounds.
