Does this sound right for dosing?

That doesn't sound bad. Not knowing what you mean by 'heavily planted', or what your fish load is, makes it difficult.
You could start there, but get N and P test kits and test regularly for content and learn what the tank uses. Once you learn your tank it will be easier, but test until you do.
I would not suggest one blindly dose a tank without learning how the nutrients affect it.
If you like dosing Traces every day, go for it, but it's not necessary. 2-4mls. at water change and again at mid-week would do the trick for you and you can always raise or lower, depending on what the plants tell you.

That looks about right... but without further info about your tank, its difficult to say for sure. Like djlen said, getting N and P test kits will help enormously, particularly the N test kit. You want to shoot for a level at around 1-5ppm.

I wouldn't worry too much about iron... just does when you see that its needed.

Hey Richer - I think this is the first recommendation I've seen for such low N levels. I've always dosed in the 5ppm range, any more than that didn't seem to be needed. How come you're not in the 10-to-20 club?
