Ferts?

[Boyam]

Any ideas what i should be feeding my plants as soon as i put them in? I heard flourish tabs are good but do i need liquid ferts to go along with the tabs?


Currently all i have is co2 and Eco-Complete substrate.

thanks!

DONT FERTILISE FOR THE FIRST MONTH, THAT WAY YOUR PLANTS WILL KEEP THE ALGAE DOWN, AFTER A MONTH START WITH LIQUID FERTS, YOU CAN ADD ROOT FERTS WHENEVER YOU LIKE I LIKE TO ADD MACROS EVERY 6WEEKS-2 MONTHS AND TRACE EVERY 3-6 MONTHS.

i dose dry ferts simply because its cheap...
generally speaking there are two groups of ferts
macro and mirco ferts,

I use seachem flourish as my mirco fert
and add dry powders for my macros,
which consists of NPK. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium... I add 3 times a week a tiny bit of KNO3 and KH2PO4

I also use a 2LT juice bottle to create CO2...

If you google PPMD or EI ferts, you'll come up with some really good information on what kind of ferts, how often and how much to use

hope that helps.

ouch did i miss the edit link?

btw, I dosed as soon as possible and regular water changes kept algae at bay while the tank was becoming established...
