Ok, so I'm a little confused about how to dose with the flourish line. It's for my 46gal(heavily planted, no CO2). I have a decent ammount of fish but no nitrates. And my plants are yellowing, and algae is starting to grow, so I need ferts.
According to Seachm, 1 cap of flourish nitrogen raises 40gal by 1mg/L. Apparently mg/L is roughly equivalent to ppm. So to go from 0ppm nitrate to 10ppm, I need 20+ caps??? That's like a bottle a week. Seachem's online calculator says I need 23 caps to go to 10ppm, and 46 to go to 20ppm.
Is that correct, and if so, should I go to dry ferts then?
