Im using the fertilizer three times a week.
I will describe my tank as medium planted. My planst seem to have a brownish
algae. I am trying everything i can to save them.
Any suggestion are welcome. What type of light do you suggest?

How often should i use the fertilizers?


You should generally put 1-3 doses of aquarium plant fertilizer in the
tank per week, depending on the amount of plants you have. But first make
sure you have adequate lighting, as this is a far greater factor in plant
health than fertilizer.

And have you ever used aquarium salt or any antibiotic fish medications in
the water? Those kinds of chemicals can often make freshwater plants sick.
