    Hi guys,

    How often do you dose the fertilizers ?
    I'm using Seachem flourish ( comprehensive , phosphours , iron ) and Lush Gro Micro . Is there anything i miss out ?

    my tank is 30x16x20 cm , with stem plants and red plants , thinking of having some carpet grass

    Thank You

    You miss the Macro fert. i.e. N, P and K. The N, P and K on Seachem flourish is way too little. Seachem flourish is very much micro fert with a bit of N, P and K

    If you follow EI, then you will need to dose every day

    While on this topic,

    Shadow on the micro days how much should I dose for my 50 gallon tank? I have been dosing two capfuls of fluorish iron and one capful of fluorish. Is that enough?

    For iron, dose 4ml 2 times a week it should give around 0.4ppm a week for 50 gallon tank.
    As for trace, too complex to calculate, just follow the instruction printed on the bottle
