Dosing and double water changes

[Alastair]

Just a quick question if anyone can answer it, when considering 2x 50% water changes instead of just the one, what changes do I make to my dosing, 
I normally do 
Sat - water change and macro 
Sun - trace 
Mon macro etc with Friday being a break day. 
Now if I decide to do a mid week water change too, say Wednesday, I'd dose my macro as normal after, but with doing 2 water changes, do I need to look at increasing the amount of ferts I'm using to double the concentration of what I'd normally do with just the one water change? So for example if I add 15 tsp of kno3 to my mix normally, then if doing 2 water changes would I make my mix up with double this etc. cheers

when you do a wc it's like you were reseting the system. So assume that and start dosing as if it were saturday.

I got a new layout so I'm doing daily wcs. I dose every single day as if it were the first day. The only exception is that I also add micros along with the macros otherwise they wouldn't fit the schedule.

hope this helps

So if you do daily WC which is very good as I have read through the forum, then you do need to dose both macros and micros at the same time?

Isn't that a problem with Iron combining with I don't know what etc etc 🙂

Just add them at different times of the day if need be.

mix it into an all in one instead of separate dosing trace/macro then just done whole lot once a day regardless of water changes
