Hiya,

Just put some plants into my 140 gallon. None are taller than 6 inches.

9 corkscrew vallisneria
8 dwarf mondo grass
2 hornwort
2 amazon swords(don't know what kind)
2 java ferns
2 water onions
1 red flame sword
1 cryptocoryne undulata
1 micro sword narrow leaf
1 wisteria
1 ludwigia repens

How much fertilizer do I use per week based on the amount of plants I have? I bought Seachem Flourish. The bottle says 5mls for every 60 u.s gallons. But I don't know how that can be accurate considering they don't know how many plants I have.

Thanks in advance:)
