how often should I be feeding my aquarium plants with liquid CO2? the bottle says everyday but I have a 10 gallon and I'm cycling my tank.
 
What type of co2? I'm guessing it's flourish excel, in which case it says on the bottle to dose either every day or every other day. If there's no plants in your tank that have special requirements I.E anubias, java fern, moss, crypts, etc I'd do every other day for the amount per gallon suggested, I think it's one capful for 50 gallons? So you could get a measuring cup and measure out 1 ml for ten gallons every other day, that is if it's flourish excel.
 
Dose everyday to avoid fluctuations - This will help prevent algae.
 
Edit - Similar for your plant food too - If it says dose weekly, consider spliting the dose - 4,5 or 7 days a week.
 
I agree with firearms here. Carbons should be dosed daily to avoid fluctuations Not every other day.
 
It has quite a short half life in the tank generally, so yes, definitely daily.
