Are these Algae?

[bclee]

I am hoping you know what you are doing when you dose the macros. Otherwise, you may end up with a big mess.

You mentioned you dose "FE, KSO4, MgSO4 and PNK..."

What is the PNK you are refering to?

You can get Ca(NO3)2 from Dr Mallick's. Ca(NO3)2 will add more NO3 than Ca. You may end up with too much NO3 than you require.

Can you share what EXACTLY do you dose? I am afraid that I may confuse you and mislead you... unless you are confident and know exactly what you are doing.

Just to share with you my dosing schedule to give you an idea:
Tank size: 50L
Weekly:
30%-50% water change
1.5 tsp Seachem Equilibrium (K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn)
2ml of Seachem Flourish (Fe and traces)
0.25 tsp KNO3 (K & NO3)
Tiny bit of KH2PO4 (K & PO4)

It is as simple as that.

Please check the content for the WhiteCrane stuff. Is it meant for aquatic plants? If it contain urea as N source, stop using it. It will cause algae and maybe harmful to the fishes.
