Dosing 3x a week is just a smart plan for providing everything the plant's need throughout the week, I will draw up an example of a plan that I myself and many others use, and post it on front page...
Dosing all at once, seems to create a small problem between Iron in Trace, or Fe, and Phosphate, so dosing all at once is not highly recommended, that is fine for a lowtech no C02 tank, but for highlight C02 injection, it seems to work best, doing odd even days on mAcro's/mIcro's..

Will have it drawn soon...

Thanks for the question!

I do try to do it every other day, but having such a high light tank Ive been noticing I could be doing better with dosing.

Just wondering if there any any downsides to dosing all at once or alternating dosing for different days? Like trace's/Iron on monday, KN03 and P04 on tues, traces/iron wed..etc
I mean it would be simpler to just does everything at once 3x a week. But im not sure if thats the best plan...I downloaded that text file and will be using it to get a schedule down. hopefully the greenspot will go away once i get things organized

thanks for the post and the text file
