At what level does this dosing keep your nitrates? I have a 5.5 gallon tank with about 4 gallons of water. For a fish load, I have 3 small platies and a betta, but my plant load is much higher than yours. I have quite a bit of Anarchis, some Hornwort, an amazon sword, an A. crispus, a tuft of dwarf hairgrass, and some java moss. From tank size alone, I would think that I should dose about twice what you're dosing, but the real question is whether I should go even higher than that because of my increased plant density.
I assume you refrigerate your ferts to stop that bottle of water from becomingan algae/bacteria festival. Is simple refrigeration sufficient, or is it a better idea to freeze some when you're using it so slowly?
