I am dosing Tropica at 7pumps a week (1 pump a day) for a 90P (180l) tank (and extra pump after water change). Plants are fine. But I have aquasoil not gravel so plants can also get nutrients from soil - which is the idea behind lean(er) dosing.In my experience, the recommended amount does not work. I know scapers who are up to 6x the recommended dose.
If dosing more causes plants to grow faster, then I'm ok with dosing less and plants growing slower, makes maintenance easier. 🙂
