In reference to my previous posting all the ferts. will be way above the recommended levels even with a 50% weekly water change assuming no nutrient uptake being the most extreme. eg in a 120g tank the recommeded dosage for NO3 as KNO3 is 1.5 teaspoons three times weekly. This gives a measurement of 31.59ppm of NO3 at the end of the week prior to a water change-using FERTILATOR.
With 50% weekly water changes the max that NO3 can reach is DOUBLE the original dose ie. 62ppm, and that is assuming no nitrate uptake by plants and no endogenous accumulation of NO3 from bacterial oxidation.
So are the recommended quantities of ferts correct? If so please enlighten me>
