I have a 6" ray in my 125g. I have water lettuce floating and need to dose it. I notice the flourish has a small amount of copper .0001%. Will this be safe to dose with once a week?
 
ive never dosed any water lettuce floating in my tanks with any products.... dont see why you would need to...

Getting brown tips on some pieces...looks like a nutrient deficiency to me...not sure how else to solve it..still growing like wild..but I don't want any brown edges =p
 
isnt yellow leaves a nutrient defficiency im sure if theyre growing like weeds they dont have a nutrient deficiency

Well it seems to brown @ the tip. then 1 leaf will turn yellow and end up melting away...

I doubt a weekly dose of flourish could hurt..i just want to verify..the amount of copper is so light
 
I would not add anything that had any trace of copper to my ray tank.
 
decide if you want to keep rays or water lettuce.
If the plant is the priority then feed it ( if that's really what the problem is) ,if the ray is your priority then don;t.
