Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - When is Magnesium and Calcium necessary to dose?

bsmith · 04-03-2009, 03:22 PM

After looking at the fertilator I realized I have never dosed either of these by them self. I understand the TPN+ I use in my nano has it (Magnesium) but in my 37g where I dose KNO3, KH2PO4, K2SO4, Flourish Iron and Flourish there probly isnt too much in there. As far as the Calcium I dont think ANY thing I dose has it.

The main reson I have been doing more research on dosing is that I cant seem to get my needle leaf stellatus to color up yet, granted it isnt even half way up my 24" tall tank and this could be the problem but I just though I would be seeing some by now.

Thanks.
