Sorry folks this is a double post, but I realize that Seachem probably won't get back to me in time, what with Christmas and all. Also, I did not put this in fertalization becaus eI wanted more traffic to see it
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
