I have a huge problem, my tank is 67 liters and started fertilization using EI method recently.
My formula is as follows, calculated at Fertilator:
N / P - Tropica Plant Nutrition + Liquid
3 X week - 15ml
Values for dosage:
NO3 - 13.81 ppm
PO4 - 0.71 ppm
K - 2.74 ppm
Mg - 0.91
Fe - 0.16 ppm
K - KCI
3 x week - 6ml
K - 9 ppm
My question is whether these parameters are correct?
Furthermore, after starting the fertilization, had an increase of nitrites and nitrates.
Current values:
NO2 - 1ppm
NO3 - 40ppm
I'm scared and do not know what to do, the aquarium is already 4 months and this happened when I started fertilizing and when I did a treatment of algae, with Excel and H2O2.
I have already changed 40% water, but the nitrites and nitrates has not decreased. Nitrivec added to restore the colony of bacteria.
What should I do?
P.S: Sorry for the English because I am Portuguese
Thanks everyone
