Liquid fertilisers Used :Seachem Trace
Fertilization regime :2-3day 1dose 1time according to what is needed
EXCEL! Finally i decided to try out the excel, i can't believe after i buy the cylinder c02, i still go and get this excel to provide the best and additional c02 to the Dear HC...
I got something to share about the method of dosing the liquid fertilizer.
I remember i read from some where that people do use syringe to drew up the fertilizer and place them right on top of the plant and apply the solution.
This way the plant will receive direct supply instead of dosing into the tank and dun know where the solution is running too.
But as you know the 5ml or sometime even less amount of ml is require to dose, so for my tank with that few patch of HC and plant, 5ml inside the syringe is not going to last before i could apply onto the rest of the HC.
So i was thinking that maybe i can take out like 500ML of water from my tank, Dose the Excel into the 500ML of tank water, then i use the syringe to drew up the premixed excel solution and then apply to the plant like HC. This way i got more amount of premixed excel to dose fairly among all.
Other fertilisers :multi bottom

30++ tetra

I remember some expert told me to dose NPK either from seachem or wondergrow, i do remember but for now i can't affort to get the 3bottle of NPK yet. I would like to see how well the Excel can excel the HC 1st then i will get the NPK when time and money arrive
Question: currently i'm having C02 from cylinder providing C02 to my tank, So do i still dose Excel "daily" as per recommended on the bottle? Do i dose a bit less since i already providing cylinder C02 or i should just dose as per recommended? I do not want my fishes to die of double C02.
If i'm not wrong, i can dose this excel when i turn on the light so it can access to the excel when light is on right?
Really hope to receive advice from the old timer here again like Shadow and others. Thanks for your value comment
I also posted this thread in the Tom Barr forum to seek advice from both side
