Aquarium Advice Regular
First of all, I do NOT have an Iron test kit nor will I be buying one. Ive heard they are expensive and extremely inaccurate.
I have 2wpg (the 2x55w Bright Kit from AH Supply) and no CO2 injection. Heres a list of the plants I have (as far as I know):
2 Marble Vallisneria
1 Amazon
1 Rubin Sword
6 Dwarf Chain Tennellus
2 Red Temple
2 Moneywort
1 Ruffle Sword
1 Anacharis
2 Cabomba
2 Brazilian Swords
2 Lilies (water onions)
I just got the complete Flourish line from Big Al's and on the Iron bottle it says dose to 0.10 mg/L (which is 1 cap for my tank), and to maintain that level. My question is - Does anyone have a rough guess as to how often I will need to add the 1 cap of Fe to maintain close to 0.10 mg/L? What is the iron uptake gonna be like? Do I need to put in a capful every day? Should weekly cover it, or monthly?
I know this is question will only produce vague answers, but Im really only looking for guesstimates. Thanx all!
