Trace elements dosing is individual. Some people like more, some less. There is many commercial products available. Personally I use Plant-ProdŽ Chelated Micronutrient Mix, http://www.plantprod.com/catalogue/0...nutrients.html ,
Mn - 2.00 %
Fe - 7.00 %
Zn - 0.40 %
Cu - 0.10 %
B - 1.30 %
Mo - 0.06 %

24 g - in 500 ml makes 0.1 ppm Fe at 3 ml / 100 l, same as all my solutions

Dosing regardless the size of tank, 1 drop a day up to 1 Watt per gallon, and 4 drops a day at 4 Watt per gallon. Watching the colour of plants gives good indication how much to dose.
