memorywrangler Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I have a brand new 22 gal tanks that’s holding a bunch of plants I’d like to grow out while it cycles and I collect hard scape etc for the final setup. I’ve dosed it a few times in the last week with 2 shots of Easy Green but I’m still reading zero nitrates. The plants are growing. Should I keep dosing till I read some nitrates? How much? How often? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yeah, sometimes the pump dispenses less than 1ml. I’d try 4-5 pumps, wait a few hours and test again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memorywrangler Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 What level of nitrates should I be targeting? I've heard 40, but I feel like even to get to 20, I had have to dump a lot in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
