new tank ferts

Hi skankypup
I would use the normal dose for the tank size and not worry about overdosing.
You will run into more problems if you underdose (failing plants = algae on the leaves etc.)
I started a low tech about three years ago using James C's recipe and didn't dose enough. I got BGA all over the place.
All sorted now

What are the tanks stats...size, substrate etc. Substrate choice can drastically change the amount we need to dose.
