Marcelo Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hi Everyone, 40 breeder gallon tank with 6 hours of light and pressured CO2 (about 100 BPM). I am using 8 drops of Easy Green per day but I think it’s too much as I don’t have many plants. what do you suggest ? I am having issues with Staghorn algae so I am trying to revise all my actions and fertilization is an important one. thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenja Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I'd probably approach it from the nitrate angle. What is your nitrate level? Is it under or over 20ppm? Does the 8 drops daily raise it to 20ppm? Do the plants use up that does in a day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelo Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Months ago I was using another liquid fertilizer but I changed to Easy Green as my nitrate was very low (almost zero). Even using easy green( 6 drops per day in the beginning and 8 drops since weeks ago) the maximum I can have is about 10 ppm. My concern is increase even more to get more nitrates and have by consequence, a lot of other things like phosphate and other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Henry Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Just a thought but I would consider adding many more plants to utilize the light, CO2 and ferts your are presently providing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
