EI dosing via pump in long tank

Hi ukaps,

I am using a pump to dose micro/macro solution on alternative days. My tank is 4ft long, dosing tubes are at one end of tank.

Just below surface I have some christmass moss tied on driftwood. On dosing time, this moss receives a blast of ferts. Now it seems that the moss is burned/melted (brown). I can attribute that on either: the high amount of ferts it receives OR that during wc the moss is exposed to air (but never allowed to dry as I spray with tank water frequently). I had similar results when I sprayed emersed monte carlo in a propagator with leftover ei solution... (Big No No!)

Having asked that do you see an issue in adding ferts on one side of a 4ft long tank? I believe I have descent circulation through a spraybar. I am adding about 50ml of ferts per dosing.

In the middle of the tank I have weeping moss that is doing ok.

Thanks!
