its a just shy of 4ft, 200l or 50g roughly tank. substrate is a fine gravel mixed with clay aggregate base, topped with playsand. i have about 7x turnover estimating my external is at about 600lph compared to its stated 1000lph.
i have 39w x 2 t5 lights, with reflectors, on for 7 hours a day. and im currently dosing flourish and flourish excel. i dose 5ml of flourish, per bottle directions, only once a week. and ive been dosing the carbon every other day, 5ml. i probably need to up both?

i really want to fill in my foreground with this micro sword, but ive read it can be fussy? what can u guys tell me about it, and what do u think i should do with dosing, this is my first time messing with ferts and liquid carbon.

thx
 
Yeah your set up is sufficient for lilaeopsis, I don't know a lot about flourish ferts but I grow it in a low light set up, the leaves are very thin now tho like grass but in your light it should stay thicker. I dose excel and tpn+ daily too tho.
 
since the flourish ferts say only dose once a week, im hesitant to dose more than that. can i overdose on something like this?
 
Like I say I dont know much about the ferts your using. Excel says once a week too but I dose everyday.
