I'm sure there's 100s of posts about dosing, but I am in one of those utterly confused moods, and just need someone to tell me what to do!
I have a 50gal tank that is currently 1wpg, no CO2, adding the mysterious Red Sea FloraGro and Flora 24 (nobody knows what exactly is in them...). I am soon going to be upgrading this to about 2wpg, DIY CO2 and hopefully a better fert system.
My beautiful leopard sword has started to get brown spots, edged in yellow, which I believe is a potassium deficiency. It has a desk lamp on it from the side of the tank to get its light levels up, and has been growing wonderfully - about one 10cm leaf per week so far.
Can someone please tell me what exact chemical(s) I need to buy? I suppose I will need to do the EI thing - which, if I understand correctly, involves dosing all the important nutrients at big enough doses so that you never bottom out, is that right? So, potassium... and all the rest. Help me!
