I will be away for hte next week. I have arranged for my roommate to dose my tanks and feed the fish while I am away. I dose KNO3, KH2PO and Flourish, amcros and micros on alternating days. I plan on storing each days dose (Macros in one vial, micros in another)in seperate test tubes or specamine vials to make it fast and easy for her. I dose 10NO3/1PO4 on even days and 2.5ml Flourish in 10 gallons the other days (for my 10 gallons, the 15 gallon get 3ml Flourish). The Flourish is a brand new bottle, if it matters.

Two questions:
- Will storing the days flourish in a clear vial cause any problems with light. The room gets little natural light and no sun. The vials can be stored above the tanks away from the tank's lights.

- To make it even easier, can I mix all the ferts together in one daily dose(ie, 5/.5ppm NO3/PO4 and 1.25ml Flourish all in the same vial)? How much precipitation will I have to deal with, account for?

Thanks in advance

It should be fine to put the Flourish in the clear vials for the short period of time you are talking about. However, I would not mix the Flourish with the other items though, as this will adjust levels of the items in Flourish and might cause precipitation of items plus degrade the preservatives. Keep them seperate but you can use the smaller vials at least. Have a good vacation!
