I started fairly low dose LCO and slowly built it up over weeks/months on my 500l high tech tank, presently dosing 15.6ml daily as lights go on. Using TNC carbon ATM as got it on offer when at Aquarium Gardens.

Some plants need acclimatisation with it I believe!

I use liquid carbon I did use easy carbo which I found ok. Then I got tnc which was cheaper at aquarium gardens. Do you have to dose this at a certain time of day? As I just dose mine every night after work about 6pm ish. 8ml I dose in my 400litre low tech. Also dose my ferts same time aswel.
Cheers Lee.

Light breaks down LCO also think it breaks down by itself also. It's main advantage is it's extra nutrition during the photoperiod so best added as lights come on.

Ferts on the other hand can be dosed anytime. I dose the fert at the same time every day except the first Macro dose after a WC that is always just after the WC

What is the macro ferts? Is that the homemade ferts you Do?

Cheers lee
