Actually you don't have enough plants in there to justify that much ferts.
A weekly 50% water change will equal that out however.
Not that it's 100% but I like to keep my tank(s) where I can see everything or might
I say everywhere in it...lower level of plants than those Dutch style tanks much the
same as your level...where I can look through them.
Since you said tsps I will conclude you have a set of smaller than 1/4 measuring
spoons. You might substitute K2SO4 for half of the KNO3. This will bring down the nitrates. Just to what extent. But I'd say the excess nitrares tells me theplants are not
using up what you are adding(based on my first comment about low level of them)
and I'd try cuttin them to half what you are using total.
Day one just after WC
1/16 tsp KNO3
1/16 tsp K2SO4
1/32 tsp KH2PO4
1/16 tsp MGSO4
Next day
2ml Flourish (get pipettes from e-bay for this, cheap)
3ml Tetra Pride
repete three days later only these two
Try this for 30 days and see how the nitrates are after two weeks and after the 30 days see if any negative symptoms happen/w the plants that make you think their lacking anything.
P.S. Those moss balls have been known to cause problems and I don't remember which problems.
You have a fairly high amount of light and some Excel might do the tank some good/w that light amount.
