and also, what type of dry ferts are there for macro?
micro use liquid one right? thanks...

Go with Seachem Nitrogen is about the best you can get now with KNO3 being banned. Target 10ppm of Nitrate per dose 3x a week for your tank. Get the KH2PO4 powder for PO4 dosing. Target 2ppm per dose 3x a week. For the micros, go with 5ml 3x a week. All that is left is basically CO2 and current.

oh.. so i have to invest in no3 and p04 test kit? for the micros, im dosing 2ml per time for 3x a week.. its based on what the wondergro bottle says.. so i have to follow or up my dosage to 5ml?
or should i get seachem florish for micro?

No test kits needed. Just follow the label instructions on Seachem Nitrogen to add 10ppm of NO3 per dose. For KH2PO4, use Chuck Gadd's website to calculate 2ppm of KH2PO4 per dose for your tank size. You can use your current micros.

EI basically use weekly large water changes to prevent buildup of nutrients to toxic levels while dosing based on max uptake rate to prevent limitation.
