tank is a 10 gal:

specs

36 watt fixture
ac filter
ada as
red sea co2 diy kind

plants

moday: 4 ml of nitrogen and 5 ml of trace
tuesday: 7ml of phosphurus
wednesday: 10 ml potassium, 4ml of nitrogen and 4ml of trace
thursday: none
Friday: 4ml of nitrogen, 7ml of phosphurus and 4 ml of trace

You would be better off using Flourish Comprehensive instead of Flourish Trace. Flourish Comprehensive is a much better trace fertilizer ironically enough.

Flourish Comprehensive: 1.5ml 3x/week (0.12ppm fe)
Flourish Nitrogen: 5-10ml 3x/week (10-20ppm N)
Flourish Phosphorus: 4-16ml 3x/week (0.5-2ppm P)
Flourish Potassium: 8.25-17ml (10-20ppm K)

Dosing based on WC on Saturday
Sa: 50% WC & N-P-K
Su-T-H: Flourish Comprehensive
M-W: N-P-K
F: Rest

If you stick with the waterchange on Saturday and no dosing until the following Monday you're almost guarenteeing an algae outbreak as a result of nutrients bottoming out. The water change would half anything still in the tank and the plants would be using up the remaining during the next two days.

flourish trace is basically mineral water. the comprehensive has many more of the nutrients you need.

But what i have is just flourish is that what i want or that the trace?

Are you saying you have This bottle here?

If you are, that is the one Purrbox and MCD are referring to.
