Hi, I have a 64L low light tank with no CO2 (see my sig for picture of current planting!).
I currently dose 2x 0.5ml Flourish weekly and 1ml EasyCarbo daily as per instructions. The water out of my tap also comes loaded with about 40ppm nitrates.
I've got a little bit of algae and some of my stem plants aren't growing very well so I thought I might need to start dosing phosphate. I bought a bottle of EasyLife Fosfo today but the instructions aren't very clear. It says I should add about 1ml to achieve 0.1ppm concentration but it doesn't say whether this is actually enough or how often to dose it.
I've recently heard about EI and it seems to suggest that I should be dosing four times as much Flourish as well as about 1ppm of Phosphate per week. That's a bit of a shock, am I getting this right?!
