simple fert. advice
Hello,
I've been "doing" freshwater plants for a little over 2 years now.. Recently, I completely removed everything from my tank and started over... I have a good 3+ inch fluorite gravel base, and a fairly heavily planted tank.. I have pressurized CO2 and 3.2 watts per gallon (30 gallon tank with 96 watts of light from a 6700k/10000k combo bulb). I'm trying to simplify my fertilization schedule.. Right now, I'm adding 10 ml of Tropica Master Grow each Sunday right after a 50% water change.. I know this is a loaded question, but am I dosing enough TMG?? I'm just looking for some "rough advice" for a place to start.....not a scientific analysis! Someone also mentioned possibly the use of some gravel tabs??? If so, which will work best with TMG?? THANKS! Troy |

Throw in 4-5ml 2-3 times a week, depending on how the plants are looking. -- Kind Regards Cameron "Shagster" wrote in message ...
