I'm new to this game and am getting increasingly confused about the appropriate fert dosing regime I should be using.
I have recently set up a new 200L tank, put in fertilzer substrate, and recently introduced pressurised CO2. The lighting system with the tank is 2x 30W 36" T8's - 'PowerGlo' and 'AquaGlo'. I gather this represents relatively low light, and therefore a low tech type set up. This is fine for me at the moment, i would just like to get a tank up and running that has a good-ish stock of plants in order to get the hang of it. I have stocked the tank with a supply of about 100 plants (from Greenline Aquatic Plants), I am thinking of 50L (25%) water change fortnightly, and then topping up with some liquid fert. Is this appropriate? I am assuming that as a low light / low tech set up I don't really need to go overboard with the fert dosing. Have I got this right? Any advice appreciated
