I have had my tank for roughly four years now and have always used live plants. However I have never bothered adding a fertilizer but I was forever removing/adding plants when they died. I have now decided to start using Tetra Plantamin liquid.

I was wondering whether it would be best to wait until my next water change to add the first dose?
It says on the bottle to add 5ml per 10l for a newly set up aquarium or at each partial water change. Or 5ml per 20l for re-fertilisation every 4 weeks.

So what should I add for my first dose and when?
When doing a water change it says and are adding a dose per litre is that for the whole tank or just the amount you are adding during the water change?


These might be stupid questions but I just wanted to check.

Thanks for any info :)
 
Sounds like you need to be adding 5ml per 10lt after each water change. And that would be 5ml per 10lt of the whole tank, NOT how much water you actually take out :)
