Seachem Flourish fert help, please

romaric

prayers into outrageous dares
Hi gang. Question about Flourish Ferts. I currently use IRON and POTASSIUM in my 20 gl long, with 8 species of plants in there and DIY c02. (see blog for plant details)

If I only use these two, will that be ok? I'm noticing some leaves on the pennywort are kinda turning slightly brown. Some of the Rotala is doing the same. I have my lights on 10 hours a day.

Any suggestions on adding more Florish ferts? Is it enough? Do I need more?
I read somewhere that I need to balance it out with Phosphate. Is that true?

I'm dosing 2mL of Iron everyday except sunday.
Dosing 4mL of Potassium wed. and fridays.

Also, some leaves on my sword are browning, but I'm thinking that it's just the plant running its course, and some leaves will just brown and die as it goes. It's formed another runner with 4 new buds coming out, so that's good!

Here's the chart I use:

again..I only use iron and potassium right now. Do I really need all these??

I just ordered from Dr.'s Foster and Smith both their Flourish Liquid Plant Packs. One was their Fundamentals Kit, which gave me Flourish, Flourish Iron, and Flourish Exce. Then I got their Enhancer Kit includes Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Phosphorus, and Flourish Potassium. Each bottle like Flourish Phosphorus, Flourish Potassium is 100 ml each. I got two packs of both so that should hold me off for awhile. It only cost $9.99 per kit. If you where to get each one of them separately they would from anywhere from $3.00 to $4.00 per bottle.

Just one questions to anybody what is the proper Iran level?

I got these to. I only do iron every few weeks. all the other stuff once a week and the flourish every other day. Not sure its right, but do not want green algae and green water.
