Hello Everyone:

Is there a preference for fertilizing daily over weekly. I usually fertilize
after weekly tank maintenance and I wonder if instead of adding the
recommended amount of TMG (and nitrates) all at once, would it be better to
divide the dose by 7 and add the smaller amount daily?

Thanks,

Robin P.

I'd add it at least 2x-3x a week. You don't need to go to daily.
Even at very high light and growth rates. Weekly is fine if you have
1.75 w/gal or less or lots of slow growers etc.
If you have 2w/gal and CO2 you'll need to add 2x to 3x the recommended
amount of TMG etc.
Those recommended amounts are for non CO2 tanks or low light tanks.
NO3 should be added the same way and PO4 if you need that(eg not in
your tap water etc).
