At first after dosing seachem equliblium (GH) as per Tom's advice it started to peral for about one week.But then in the weeks to follow there was no peraling at all. I added i think an too high level of dry ferts and all my malayan shrimps died
.
I think it is the improper amounts of dry ferts i add.
Tank 1 feet by 1 feet by 1 feet =about 7 gallons
lights are fine 21 watts
co2 is fine about 22ppm
dosing
Required levels of nutrients
CO2 range 25-35ppm
NO3 range 5-30ppm
K+ range 10-30ppm
PO4 range 1.0-3.0 ppm
Fe 0.2-0.5ppm or higher (?)
GH range 3 degrees ~ 50ppm or higher
Fertillizers used and level provided
Lushgrow micros 1 ml
0.7 iron
lushgrow aqua 5ml
0.3 iron
9.1 potassium
5.6 nitrate
1.3 nitrogen
0.8 teasppon of kno3
0,2 teaspoon of kh2po4
4.2 teaspoons of kso4
7 teaspoons seachem equlibirlum
in 100 ml of water dose about 5 ml three times a week
Can anyone tell me how much to dose dry dosing preferredand when (eg a dosing scheldue that works for u) cause I have been experimenting for a week readin the forums and Ei as well as online fert calulators like fert friend or chuck's aquarium calculators and i can't seem to get it right. (the first time it peraled was when i randomly threw it 1/16 teaspoon of each dry fert and liquid fert)
