Tips on growing eleocharis parvula

EI or PPS pro would be the way to go. For a low tech i would go with PPS pro. If your water is hard u can dose micro's as normal but if your water is soft I'd recomend halving the dosage.

Google PPS pro for more info. Uses the same ferts as EI but a different way of dosing

But for actually buying the ferts out of the ones I listed which ones would be best for?
As for nitrogen and phosphate I get enough from fishes so I think I need mirco and K

In that case just buy k2so4 and any sort of trace mix will be fine. Dose to PPS pro targets for both. U can find out how much to dose with the Rotalabutterfly calc

What's your substrate? And are u using root tabs? U may not need trace

Well I'm assuming I don't need it what do nitrogen and phosphate deficiency look like?
I know there is yellowing but then it could be iron as well and K
Also I tend to do water changes every 2-3 weeks so there so enough N and P

Just in case would I be able to use kno3?

Substrate is small to medium gravel with root tabs

It's virtually impossible to determine deficiencies out right. 4ml easycarbo is enough for your tank. It's a maximum or 2ml per 50 litre.

 

[bhavik95]

if its 2ml per 50ml wouldnt it be 8ml then?

 

[Caliban07]

For a heavily planted tank yes.
