Tank details:
Fluval Edge 46 litre (12 Us gallons), no additional lighting no co2 but an E series Fluval heater
Plants:
Cryptocoryne beckettii
Cryptocoryne undalatus kasselman
Vallisneria (not sure which one)
Annubias barteri nana bonsai x 2 attached to the wood
Cypress helfri
Microsorum pteropus narrow
Taxiphyllum flame (moss)
Vesicularia christmas (moss)
Inhabitants:
Danio erythromicron - Celestichthys erythromicron
Red cherry shrimp - Neocaridina Heteropoda var. Red
Amano shrimp - Caridina multidentata
I'm looking for a suitable fert' for the above tank/plants that will be non-harmful to shrimp but that can be given once a week (or automated) rather than daily. I have been using a daily dose of Tropica Premium which has produced very vigorous growth (too much in some cases!) but need to find something for periods when we are away (holidays etc).
I've recently tried using the above in a larger dose only twice a week and the plants are now suffering badly. Has anyone tried the Dennerle Dosator and would it be suitable for our size of tank?
