Well I finally got myself some planted tanks! One is a 6gallon and one is a 3gallon both with betta fish in them. Now I did read the directions and went to a calculation conversion site to try and figure out just how much I should be dosing but I am still a little confused I guess on just how much I should dose a 3 and 6 gallon tank. I do not want to overdose because well it says right on the bottle DO NOT OVERDOSE, in big letters.
These are the directions on the bottle: On the initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5mL) for every 40L (10 gallons*). There after use 1 capful for every 200L (50 gallons*) daily or ever other day. Dosing may be slowly increased in high-growth aquariums. For smaller dosing please note that 1 cap thread is approximately 1mL.
Great so 1 cap thread is approximately 1mL... but there aren't 5 cap threads there's like 2... :irked:
I have this trouble dosing Prime too but you don't really have to worry about overdosing that so I don't worry about it to much.
Basically I'm pretty mathematically dumb and am just looking for a little guidance and a simple answer.:1zhelp: :bowing:
I should probably mention that I have root tabs under the Amazon Swords in both tanks.
Here are pics of the 2 aquariums.. I do believe that one plant (Anubia?) that is suppose to be tied down to something I have in the sand but I didn't burry the Rhizome, I think it's called, just the roots but I do plan on tieing that to the drift wood sooner or later.
6Gallon
3Gallon. Driftwood has not sunk yet so I can't tie the Java fern to it.
