Apulo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Since I finally got my nitrite under control I'm trying to get my nitrate back up to at least 30ppm. For the past two days I have been dosing 1.5ml (it's a 14 gallon tank) twice a DAY and have no detectable nitrate. Those poor plants must have really needed some ferts 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQ Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I have the same problem, originally I turned to seachem nitrogen to supplement, on account of not wanting to dose massive amounts of easy green. But, seachem is way too weak and needs a massive dose to make a dent in my nitrates. Im currently on day 2 of using FlourinGro to supplement and so far im happier. The dosing instructions are way more precise and the product is more concentrated. (it looks as tho only 2ml ~ 2.5ml will raise my 36g by 10ppm). Whereas with seachem I believe ill need 15ml.

Mmiller2001 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is the moment when dry fertilizers start to make a lot of sense. Being able to individually increase ppm at an exceptionally low cost is the route I would start looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apulo Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Due to the nitrite spike I had I haven't dosed any ferts for over a week. Tomorrow is root tab day, hopefully that will even things out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I would still be dosing regardless of a nitrite spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apulo Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 It was also causing a nitrate spike and I was worried about the fish. Either way, it's over and I can start catching up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
