I just got seachem flourish for my Java fern plants and am struggling to calculate the right amount so instead of getting too frustrated Iām deciding to ask on here. I have a 3 gallon tank so what exact dosage should I use?
How many drops would that be from the bottle? I donāt have a syringe at the moment.A very small amount as java ferns are slow growing.
The dose rate on the bottle is 5 ml per 60 gallons so that's 0.25 ml in 3 gallons. For java ferns I'd use 0.1ml or even a bit less. Syringes are useful for dosing tiny amounts, I have a 1 ml babies medicine dosing syringe which is graduated in 100ths of a ml.
Personally I think that you would do better with Comprehensive rather than Flourish. Seems to still be good for plants but better for fish.
