I've got a small (1 gal) tank for my Betta that's got a good bit of plant
life for its size (some Bacopa, some Java moss, and a Java fern). I've got a homemade yeast CO2 unit keeping CO2 at approximately 14-15 ppm (per dKH and pH). In my most recent water tests I found nitrates were at zero. In addition to that, I've got cyanobacteria growing in the tank. As part of trying to get things straightened out, I'm starting to fertilize the tank. However, most of the recommended dosages are on the order of 5 ml per 10 gallons. 0.5 ml is rather hard to meter out so what I'd like to do is mix up a diluted mixture to make things more convenient. It would be more convenient if my dosages of various fertilizers were pre-mixed into a single mix, or a "per day" mix (containing whatever I'm supposed to mix in on each day of the week). I remember reading somewhere that certain fertilizer chemicals should not be mixed together because they'll precipitate out and not be available to the plants. Am I totally off base here?
