changed light settings, can anyone suggest fert dosage?
I just changed my wpg from 4 to 2.67...at 4 I realized it was too unstable
and hard to keep a proper balance of nutrients with the extreme amount of light. I was dosing, as Tom Barr suggested, 1 grain of KH2PO4 and 1/8th teaspoon of KNO3 every other day and 3ml of traces on the off days. This was done to a 15 gallon wide aquarium with 10 hours of 4wpg light @ 25-27ppm CO2 with 50% weekly water changes. Now I have 2.67 wpg...what would be the suggestion for dosing now? I was thinking twice a week with the same dosing amount...like on Wednesdays I could do 3ml traces, 1 grain KH2PO4 and 1/8 tsp of KNO3 and then again on Sunday after I do a 50% water change. Preferring Tom Barr to answer this one since he has helped me in the past produce a wonderfully lush aquariua! Thanks :) Dave. |
