I mean "Is this seachem dose chart good?"

I have Flourish and Flourish excel.

Any real need for Flourish Iron, potassium, Phosphorus, Nitrogen? Are these necessary? I know Iron is good and potassium...

And Day 7 Prime, Alkaline Buffer, Acid buffer, Equilbrium... What about these?

Should I follow this chart? Or no, it's a marketing thing... Need some ideas :D Thank you guys

This chart may be overkill or at least it was for me.

A low tech and low light nice tank can be accomplished with only Flourish and Excel.

Also this chart represents very high $ fertilization.

I waited way too long to get into dry ferts. They are really no problem and are very inexpensive compared to the products in the chart. Please refer to:

Just mix up a 2 liter coke bottle and it will last for a month fertilizing a heavily planted 110G tank.

That chart is good for smaller tanks.
I actually follow it for my tanks but without the buffers/excel/trace. and its doing great.

If you are going to dose ferts then might as well dose all since each one depends on the other. So get yourself liquid/dry ferts (NPK +iron +regular flourish for trace) what ever your wallet allows you to get..

Day 7
prime - water dechlorinator
the buffers are to keep your water at "equilibrium"/desired ph/kh though are not necessary
