Dry fert dosing

[bbortko]

Over the last 4 months I've begun using dry ferts, went pressurized and completely replaned my 36g bow. With the replanting I moved 2 Amazon sworns, green tiger lotus, an onion plant and a handful of anubias to my 125 with a 48" current satellite+ and been doing flourish, excel, and root tabswhich I didn't need any more. I've run out of flourish and want to use dry ferts. Do to lower lighting and less plants should I dose daily at 50%, just after water change plus maybe midweek, or full schedule? Any thoughts? This tank has silver dollars, severum, and a melanurus amongst its inhabitants so I have no intention to step up plants or equipment for plants.

You want to know how to dry dose the 125? Tbh, I had silver dollars with anubias once and they ate the anubias sooooo, idk how well that will work.

But you probably won't need much in the ways of ferts. I say experiment, as that's the only way to truly know what you do and don't need. I'd start off doing maybe 50% EI, then work your way down one fert at a time and all.

I'm surprised that plants have lasted as long as they have but weird things are a foot in this tank, added duckweed over a month ago which was quickly devoured but my bellycrawler hadn't touched the 5 endlers that got scooped with the duckweed. Guess I'll cstart at 50% and cut back if ibget algae.

Write it all down. What you use and when you use it. That way, if something don't work right, you can go back and see what happened
