Is this a CO2 enriched tank?
Work this way=> CO2
NO3=>?
K+=>?
PO4=>?
Traces=>?

For NO3, folks add KNO3, stump remover, avail locally for 4$ a pound or so.

There's often enough K+ is that also.

PO4, Fleet enema, perhaps 1-2 drops 2-3x a week.

4-5mls of flourish 3x a week will top off the rest.
You can buy CMS etc and mix your own traces at 500mls per 2 table spoons or some folks make it richer at 3 tablespoons.

So that's adding basically 3 things 2-3x a week.
Not hard at all.

If you keep the CO2 at 20-30ppm while the lights are on and do a weekly 50% water change, this will produce excellent growth.

The weekly water change prevents anything from building up and the routine dosing prevents anything from running out.

www.litemanu.com sell KNO3, KH2PO4, Trace mixes(?).
