Thornapple61 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Is a fella supposed to be dosing fertilizer until nitrates are at 20ppm? I’ve seen this 20ppm figure mentioned several times on this forum in my short time here. I’ve recently setup my first planted aquarium (first meaningful aqauarium really) on Jan 1. I have never had much ammonia at all, let alone nitrite/nitrate. I have dosing easy green twice a week and still never had much of anything for nitrate according to the test strips.

lefty o Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 its a general rule of thumb to get you started. to me, it comes down to how do the plants look? if they look healthy, show signs of growth etc, dont worry about the numbers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
