if you can post some of your tank stats (size, lighting, photoperiod, etc) that will help and I can see what I can do.....

The tank is 250ltr,please do the maths,I can't remember how many ltrs to the gallon..low light,only 2x36w T8 full spectrum white bulbs 10 hours per day,the tank is heavily planted with slow growing plants like anubias,java fern,java moss,cryptororyne.It was supposed to be a very low light tank and I increased intesity and duration of light to what I have mentioned above over several months.No algae so far and I plan increasing lighting with t5.I am dosing macros and micros but not often as these seem to be stable over time because of the low light/growth.I am also dosing co2,my kh is 4 and ph 6.7.Do you think pps-pro would be of any benefit or the consuption of nutrients is too low for the pps-pro to be used?thanks a lot..

Those are two guides for you to review. For your current setup (~60 gallons, at ~1 wpg) dose the PPS pro solutions at 6ml of each, every morning. Your lighting period should be good (10-12 hours/day). If you increase your lighting, decrease your photoperiod accordingly to continue using PPS pro.

Hope that helps!
