Hello aq...
When I add fertilizers, I wait until I change the tank water. The water change removes nutrients, so I replace them as the tank fills with new, treated tap water.

Liquid carbon is not a fertilizer, it needs to be dosed daily prior to lights on.

I use Fluorish Excel and I dose 1 ml every evening at feeding time. I do it at feeding time since my air pump and filter closed which is important.

I use Flourish Excel and do mine after a wc, in the morning, but have read you must use ferts in conjunction with FE.......
I fill the tank with a python, an treat the water with the pump off, then I put the pump on to do excel and fertsDo you turn off your filter for a bit when you put your carbon and ferts in?
I would cut your light time down to 8 hours.........I just have an amazon sword and a java fern in a 20 to start. Ive been using api liquid carbon as it calls 1ml per 10 gallon once a day. Then i give it a half dose of leaf Zone by api once a week. Carbon goes in when lights go on in the morning. I do not turn off the air or filter. I leave them run. Light is a 15w T8 18" bulb. I run it 10hrs a day. Leaves look like they starting to turn black in the fern. Im new to plants and just trying to figure it out
