CO2 and Fertilizer frequency

[MZeebs]

I have a 15 gallon well planted tank with 10ish harlequin raspbora, 3 panda Cory, 1 Siamese algae eater, and a sunset gourami, as well as plenty of snails and some amanos.  I just started with CO2 about a month ago and am curious how often I should dose liquid fertilizer.  I have the easy green fertilizer (as well as root tabs I put in substrate as instructed).  On the instructions for easy green it says to use 1-2x a week, but unsure if using CO2 should increase my dosage to daily or every other day?  Thoughts?

I would research Estimative Index dosing and use that as a starting point. It's very easy and effective.

As you look more into high energy aquariums, you'll quickly see people are dosing to a maintain a target ppm vs a dosed amount.

Will definitely look into that later this evening.  Any other more simplified answers?  😂😂😂

Root tabs are not necessary. 😁

High-energy is such a better description than high-tech for CO2 + fertilizers + strong lights!
