Dwarfhair grass carpet

Trying to get dhg to carpet as far as ferts would I be ok with just root tabs or should I be adding other ferts too?

To get DHG to carpet effectively, you will most likely need medium to high light, CO2 injection, and a fertilization regiment of NPK & trace elements. DHG is pretty easy to keep alive, but not the easiest thing to get a nice thick, compact carpet.

fort384 : Rather than using CO2 injection, could a thick carpet still be achieved by dosing seachem excell?

 

[fort384]

Yes, I think it could - but CO2 injection makes it easier.

The whole front of my tank has dhg and yes I have co2 and high light but running into a algae problem due to a fert problem

The ferts I use now are all seachem until I get the dry ferts iron flourish comp and trace.
