Is there a best time to add my liquid nutrients?
I have about 7 different bottles of fertilizers so I'm not asking about any specific one.
 
what i do is add it to the food. direct to the food is better than trying to dose the tank. well at least that's what i do.
 
I don't use food :nilly:

Fertilizers are the food for plants.
 
During the night, if you have fish, will cause higher nutrient level/TDS, which is not as good for your fish. In the morning is the ideal time, right when your lights come on.
 
Morning, whenever you are putting on the lights, in vase you switch on the lights in multiple sessions in a day(say once in the morning and once in the evening) then go for the session when you would have the longest photo period. This would ensure that most of the nutrients would be absorbed right away by the plants, reducing the stress on the fish.
 
ok thanks, I will do my dosing after I turn on my lights :Pikachu:
