Gary118 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I have a new tank at my lake house. It only has plants and shrimp in it. It will be unattended for a few months during the winter. It has an ATO with a large water reservoir, so it will not go dry in the three months. I only have one doser. Can I mix Easy Green and Easy Carbon into one container and dose it daily? Can those two be mixed and the mixture is okay for three months? I've read that anything with iron and ferts will precipitated out, but nobody talks about the glutaraldehyde in Easy Carbon being mixed with ferts. Should I get an additional doser instead?

lefty o Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 i would dose the easy green, and use the carbon as needed, not dose that regularily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary118 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 I can't dose "as needed" if I am away for three months. I don't want to come back to an algae farm or malnourished plants. I have dosed Easy Carbon daily in the past and it works just fine. The question is more to see if anyone has ever tried adding and dosing the two together. At the moment I only dose Easy Carbon and add Easy Green as needed, but I will soon be away for three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
