So for a little over a week now I have had a new fertilizer routine. In both my 87 gallon and 29 gallon I am dosing Flourish Comprehensive (full dose) twice weekly like the directions say. I am dosing at the same time a half Leaf Zone twice a week, and Excel daily per directions. Plus root tabs under the crypts. I have low/medium lighting with an aqueon 48" light strip on for 12 hrs. My questions:
1. How long do I need to wait to see if this dose works? I am seeing SOME more growth with my water sprite but not so much with the hornwort. The crypts and java fern aren't dead or anything....but I know they grow slowly anyway...
2. How much more Leaf Zone could I safely use? I'm thinking of going to a full dose twice per week (basically doubling it)
3. Would dosing more excel or flourish comprehensive help growth?
4. If I do a major water change after I dose ferts, should I do another full dose of the leaf zone and flourish comprehensive after? (I know excel has specific directions for this) ...
