How much should i dose a 90L medium planted tank with???

I have a small co2 kit and lowish lighting (1.5W per gallon)

And my other question is will carbon pads remove the ferts???
 
what do the instructions say on the bottle? What are the levels/ percentages of elements in the bottle?

carbon removes ferts although they only last a couple of days before they become saturated and start leaking some of the contents back into the water.

Total nitrogen - 0.15%
Boron - 0.0005%
Copper - 0.0005%
Iron - 0.26%
Manganese - 0.05%
Molybdenum - 0.0007%
Zinc - 0.003%

5ml per 38 litres weekly for optimum plant growth

I would dose 10ml every other day to start with, if you see any sign of NPK (yellow leaves, stunted growth, pinholes) defficiencies then i would suggest switching to a different fertiliser such as seachem flourish or tropica plant nutrition+

I can't find TPN+ anywhere around here

I wan't to talk to someone at an LFS and ask about it is they stock it
