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

No it needs to be spread out through the week ..
Try this http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_aquacalc.htm

or search Tomm Barr Estimated index at

Throw in 4-5ml 2-3 times a week, depending on how the plants are looking.
