What are your tank sizes? What/how often do you feed?
If your plants are doing well and Algae is under control I see no reason to deviate from your current dosing regime.
However, if you are tired of doing 50% weekly water changes I would recommend reducing your dosing regime across the board. If you just reduce one and still the overabundance of others you can cause algae. Your low light plants are not going to consume the nitrates at a rate where you constantly have to dose to replace them.
In my opinion, you could easily stop dosing at all. Your fish load, feedings and say weekly water changes would do just fine. Just my opinion.
What do you currently have for lighting? Photoperiod? Plant species?
All of this would give the people here a much better perspective on your current setup to lend a helping suggestion.
Unfortunately dosing is trial and error. You seem to have a good gauge on how your tank is performing now with your current dosing regime. I don't think anyone on this forum can accurately tell you how much to reduce your dosing. Just reduce them all bit by bit and observe your results.
