Vonz1 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I just purchased the Easy Green All-in-One Fertilizer500ml. Can't wait to get it. Seems like a great product. Its for a 10 gal tank. Should I start of with one squirt per week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Pic not showing up for me unfortunately @Vonz1. Maybe try again? But if there is not a lot of plants again 1 pump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 It’s low on PO4 and K. Be prepared to have to supplement those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmiller2001 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Push all the tall plants back and everything else forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 You might need some root tabs as well. What kind of plants you got in there? As some stem plants need root tabs.

Pepere Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 That whole 1 pump per week per 10 gallons confuses me. It ends up raising nitrates3 ppm… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi-serious suggestion: (carefully!) spin the tank around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I am looking at it wrong, the tank is seen from both sides. In which case, plant like an island with tall plants in the center.
