Howdy!
I recently purchased dry ferts for my aquarium from Green Leaf. It probably would have been smart for me to ask this question, and I probably could still call, but thought I would also ask here.
First, I have a 55g aquarium with what I would say is high lighting. I also have CO2 from a 5lb tank. Lots of plants, medium bioload.
I purchased the fert package that has k2SO4 (Potassium Sulfate), kno3 (Potassium Nitrate), kh2pO4 ( Mono Potassium Phosphate) and also plantex csm+b.
I was told to does the plantex every other day, and the rest on every other day (opposite days). The question is how much? I tried using the calculator from Chuck's Planted Aquarium pages but was kinda at a loss. Can someone give me an idea on what to start with? Having no clue about this stuff is why I've waited 1.5 years before going to dry ferts, I'm at a loss and now stressing out!
