More than once a week ?


Hi, I have low light and I just got some stem plants, L natans + R indica, I have 1 + watts per gallon of T 5 lights, PFS, I also have root tabs in the substrate. My only fert is florish, it says use once a week, can I use it after every Wc 2-3 time a week at the same doseage ? I cant afford more ferts right now, but would pferts nitrogen be a good choise for my tank, thanks.

The short answer is yes and yes.

The long answer is you'll have to try it and see how your plants do but I suspect they will be ok. Maybe not good growth but I my son's betta/platy tank is low light and easy plants and I don't bother adding ferts more than once a week at most (some times I forget and do it once every two weeks).

I like pfertz's products better than Seachem's but that's just me, it's easier to dose with the handy pump bottles and lasts longer.
