Low tech shrimp nano tank. Which TNC fert?

[Sdogg]

Hi

Stock 34l fluval flex. No CO2
Aquasoil substrate.
Currently 2 weeks old and cycling.
Started with 2 pots Pearlweed that im replanting tops.
Stock light on 9hrs a day

I intend to have cherry shrimp and maybe a small 6-12 shoal of Ember Tetras. Which TNC fert should I go for? Complete or Lite?

Thanks

I personally would go with the Complete as I would imagine (without looking) that Lite does not contain any Nitrate or Phosphate which are two of the Macro elements most plants need to thrive. You could get away with using Lite while the Aquasoil is new but with a tank that size a bottle is probably going to last you a year or two. You could start dosing lean and increase the dose as the tank fills in and matures. Watch your plants as they grow, they will indicate if they are needing.
