Hello everyone, this is a question that many have asked but i have yet to see a clear (IMO) answer. My question is.. Im looking for the best way to go about fertilizing my plants. I have read that many believe that the PMDD method is the best, but i feel it is way too complicated for me and i have only 1 tank so its not a matter of large scale fertilization.
I have been looking into users opinions on fertilizers that have given them the best results. I know much of this depends on the specific water chemistry of your tank/supply is, however what is the best way in determining what is right for each individual (specifically what brand/items)?
Chances are, if you are a serious hobbyist, you already have the basic test kits (nitrate/trite, ammonia, pH, KH/GH, phosphate)
I have heard that other tests such as iron and potassium are not very reliable so how does one "dose" these? What other nutrients should the planted tank enthusiast be aware of? and how does one know if the tank has adequate amounts?
Like many of you i am just trying to get the best results i can and you all have way more experience than i do and your knowledge/experience is an incredible asset.
Thank You,
Nystina
