Fert Dosage For Low Light Tank?

I understand, I'll have to find those tests. My plant mass is light I guess, but I'm shooting for the goal of a dense mass of low-lights. Soon...:) My large java fern is growning a little baby on its leaf right now, and I have a few other little babies in the tank as well. The crypts are spreading slowing to cover the gravel, and the hornwart is constantly trying to overtake the top of the tank. I'll check around for the needed items, thanx~Angela

Edit:
found the ferts at Drs Foster & Smith, My kh/gh are likely very high, because the water in this area is very hard. I'm going to find out if my lfs knows anything about the NPK values of this area's water.

While you're there, take a sample of your tap water and have them check it for N, P, gH, and kH. Any worthwhile LFS will do this service as a matter of course.
Sounds like you are on the right track. Just balance things out, keep the nutrients light, and you should be good to go.:)
