Hi!
I looked on the website Rotala Butterfly | Planted Aquarium Calculators & Information that when applying fertilizer Tropica Plant Growth Specialized of normal dosage to the aquarium , it is adding only
K 0,412 ppm
Fe 0,028 ppm
Can such a concentration of fertilizers affect anything at all? It seems to me that by adding food, we will get more of these elements.
But at the same time, it is written on all sites that iron should be at least 0.2, and Potassium is about 15.
That's concentrations are 30 times more than I can to reach using Tropica.
Where is true?))

Hello and welcome to UKAPS! :)

The short answer to your question is yes, but it depends... If you give us details about your tank setup, what plants your growing and what water you're using / water parameters etc. we will be able to qualify our answers more succinct to your specific situation.



Cheers,
Michael

I haven't got aquarium now, but I need more theoretical information for my data base :)) I do aquariums sometimes.. One of that in attach..
Someone doses 40 ppm per week, anothers doses only 2 ppm (like on my photo).
I'd like to understand better of processes in aquariums..
Thanks a lot.

Lots of debates pro and con lean dosing ... and plenty of nay and yea saying... and while a lot of us were just talking, this dude (among others) went down to brass tacks and did it:
