The nutrafin plant grow wont cause algae, the main causes of algae are excess light, lack of CO2, poor circulation and ammonia.

If you look on the back of the bottle does it say it contains NPK? (nitrate, phosphate or potassium.)

 

[nicko@rotherham]

no truck it dosent contain any of these m8

 

[Truck]

what does it say on the contents? just iron?

 

[nicko@rotherham]

total nitrogen 0.15, byron 05%,copper 05%,iron 0.26%,manganese0.5%,molybdnum 0.7%,zinc0.3% ?

Ok, so they're mainly trace elements, so dose as per the manufacturers instructions, also it may be worth investing in some aqua nourish+ which is available from aqua essentials, what volume does your tank hold?

The aqua nourish+ will provide plants with the Macro elements (NPK) which are the main nutrients needed for the production of proteins resulting in growth.

 

[nicko@rotherham]

can i add these at the same time truck its a 190ltr jewel trigon tank pal

 

[Truck]

yeah add them both at the same time.
