I'm at that point in my research where I've got too much info and can't quite sort it out.
So there's micros and macros, and root feeders and water column feeders right?
Do you pretty much always have to use both root tabs and water column feeding?
Does using Seachem Equilibrium in the water cover micros for both the root and water coulmn feeders?
Why doesn't dosing just the water column feed the root feeders, since the water goes down into the substrate?
If you let nitrates hover around 20 ppm why do you need to add N and not just PK?
I was just reading Mebbids thread on DIY root tabs, which was great, but I'm also confused at the note that seachem root tabs provide micros but not macros.
I have a low light tank and wanted to use Tom Barr's method of dosing just Equilibrium for micros, plus KNO3 and KH2PO4, and Excel. But then since I have sand do I also have to use root tabs for the crypts, and if so is it going to have to be of the Osmocote variety with high NPK and not Flourish tabs?
