Hello,

I am currently seeing some deficiency in my 20 gallon tank.
All parameters seem to be fine, very high CO2 also.
I do dose flourish trace and flourish iron. I don't dose flourish.
I dose the Iron about 3 ml every day, flourish trace 5 ml every other day.
I thought this was more than enough, but I still see pale new growth and leaves with coloured veins but very pale leaf tissue (green rotala).
First I thought it was a magnesium issue but I have been dosing 0.5 teaspoon MgSO4 lately. Thus this can not be the issue.
Is it possible that I lack something that comes with flourish and not with the other two?

Dosing schedule: sd/td/td/sd 0.08 tsp KNO3
0.08 tsp K2SO4
0.01 tsp KH2PO4
md/wd/sd 5ml flourish trace the other days
3ml flourish iron every day.
0.5 tsp MgSO4 on waterchange

Waterchange: 50% every sunday night. I dose Macro's twise on sunday.\

Light 55 W AH supply
CO2, don't know exactly but more than 1 bubble a second and a good diffuser. Had it a little higher but my shrimp started acting wierd.

PH right now: 6.4
KH: 5

flourite on the bottom.

Thank you all very much
Appreciate all the help I can get

My understanding is Flourish is a much more comprehensive mix of trace elements than Flourish Trace.

Flourish Trace contains a subset of minerals that are believed to be used up quicker by plants (for example, boron).

A lot of people dose Flourish every other day. Following the EI method where you do a water change once a week to "reset" the tank, this is probably fine (I don't do this myself).

Seachem recommends dosing Flourish twice a week and Flourish Trace twice a week.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I am going to get a bottle of regular flourish and dose flourish Iron as an extra.
I think I dosing more than the recommended amounts will still be necessary. It is a highly planted tank.
Maybe Nicolay can post a picture of it, if he has a nice one.
I am out of batteries for my camera for the moment.
