New tank..to dose or not?

[James53]

Hi all. New tank setup about 5 days. Using new tropica soil and Rio Xingu gravel. Only dosing liquid carbon so far with prime stability. Should I add something for plants yet or shortly? Low light with "easy" plants. I read that soil would keep them going for 3 weeks but some aren't in soil?! Any suggestions on what to add... Thanks.

Yes I would. You want to start adding a COMPLETE fertiliser, I put that in capitals because a lot of pre mixed ferts claim to be complete but often lack nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, or have them in very weak concentrations.

Tnc complete would be a good recommendation if you are unsure which one to buy.

Hope that helps.
