How often do I add flora boost?

[Shadowfax]

Hi, I have finally moved over to real plants, I wondered how often I add flora boost?

It doesnt say on the bottle? I don't use that brand, but I use a liquid fertalizer once every week.

In my experience you should only use fertilisers at all if you are showing good growth. All too often people add liquid ferts which aren't necessary - I've just done it myself and payed the price in an algae bloom - although a minor one. Generally unless you have a lot of light (over 2 Watts per Gallon) and inject CO2 liquid ferts are not required. There's enough nutrients in the fish food/waste and tap water (and hopefully your substrate).

I add floraboost to my thankfully algae free tank where it enables even the anubias to grow like crazy. I don't add it to my smaller algae infested tank in the (maybe mistaken) belief that it would probably only encourage yet more algae growth! I add it once a week.
