Flourish is pretty low in nitrogen as compared to EG fertilizers. I have a low light 29 gallon and Flourish barely moved my nitrates at all. I dose my 29 gallon (moderately planted) with EG 4 pumps/weekly (Sundays or Monday) and 5 ml of Flourish on Wednesday or Thursday). No algae here and fish are happy. I also have to dose Equilibrium 1/2 tablespoon monthly. bi-weekly 25% water changes.
I have PSO, Java Fern, Anubias nana, Anubias coin, red dwarf lilly, Crypt wend green, Crypt tropica. Italian Val (not growing tall thou), Salvina floating plant (30% coverage over top), java moss (small amount), christmas moss (small amount). I have a medium sponge filter and a small sponge filter (more for just encase I need a hospital or QT).
pH 6.4, kH low 40 on ACO strip (waiting on a test kit), gH 150, nitrate 10- 20, nitrite 0
6 blue tetra, 2 von rio tetra (waiting on more to come in to my LPS), 1 peacock gudgeon, 1 hillstream, 1 million juvenile MS (30), 1 adult MS, we don't talk about what happened to my momma snail. 🤐 And some random ramhorn snail juveniles like 3-4 --- hitchhikers/free loaders came on plants.
