I have a couple of fertiliser questions. My tank has only been set up a few weeks, I have tropica soil and I use plant growth premium fertiliser. At first I read the bottle and put all one weeks fertilisers in at once. I have since realised its better to put a bit in every day so I try and do 1 pump every day. I have a lot of brown algae, maybe this is diatoms. Maybe its caused by the iron, or its just a new tank. Its a mess but I have added amano shrimp to eat it.
As my memory is terrible, I want to set up a dosing system (maybe a pump) for whatever fertiliser I decide to use. I would prefer an all in one fertiliser that preferably doesnt cause too much algae. I dont mind mixing up dry ferts as long as I dont have to remember to dose them myself daily, and they can go in by a dosing machine.
What do you recommend fertiliser wise?
What do you recommend for pump?
The boring details:
125 litres
tropica soil, wood, rocks, dwarf hairgrass carpet, java moss, java fern, anubias and crypts
Fish 12 Dwarf neon rainbows, 6 amano shrimp (more will be added soon plus nerite snails)
pH out of the tap 7.4, pH in tank 6.6 due to CO2.
