How to use liquid fertilizer for a planted aquarium Part4〜How to Identify a Fertilizer Deficiency

[@Hoot1forever]

I’m enjoying your helpful videos. Water parameters are so important. I’m glad you’re speaking of nutritional deficiencies and how to understand and correct the problem. Keep up the great content!

Thanks for the information I truly appreciate it I'm just starting out with planted aquariums so this is video helped out a lot thank you God bless

Really helpful love your videos keep them coming 👍

[@zeftlovescats2433]

Great video, ty for putting more info the description. Should we add iron daily even with the micronutrients?

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Thanks for watching, yes, you should continue dosing iron with your micronutrients (if it doesn't contain any or an appropriate level of iron in it). Hope this helps! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Another video that I greatly benefited from NOW, as I hit some minor deficiency issue with my established tank after 6 weeks.. thanks Hiro-san

Can you do a video of all your tanks in the shop the ones I’ve seen look amazing would love to see the rest I’m quite new to Aquascaping just set up my second tank (oase 400) so all your videos have been very helpful 😀

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Oase 400, good choice ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Your feedback has been noted. Remember to like, share and subscribe! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

One of the great resources on Planted Tank. Leaves are not smooth, and/or twisted means lack of calcium or something else. Can you please help?

[@niteshsetin]

Great information, how much dosing should i keep when growing monte carlo on rocks or driftwood.. And not in soil. I have Ada 60 P aquarium

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Dear Nitesh, 1 to 2 pumps of iron and potassium should be sufficient for a 60P.

[@kayeeveronicafok2196]

I have a 20L and I am using 2 pump Iron and 2 pumps Trace elements. New leaves are definitely growing quicker and colour are nicer. Should I also use 2 pumps of Potassium and 2 pumps of Nitrogen to balance them out? I am using 1 pump for the later two.

How often should I use fertilizer

[@pkcheng6117]

I hv a new tank with many fishes, do I still need to add Nitrogen to my tank ?

[@chilloutvibesforyou]

Can you do a low-tech, low light, No Co2 planted aquarium please sir!

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Unfortunately, no CO2 is not part of the nature aquarium model, thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

[@ruidadgmailcanada8508]

Hey Roy, Check LRB Aquatics and Father Fish. Both will support what you’re looking for. This excellent channel caters to high input, high maintenance aquascaped aquariums. There are many different approaches to fishkeeping.

[@chilloutvibesforyou]

@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 Thanks, already have checked those out! Have a great day!

Can you share a link where to purchase the Ada variety series?

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Hi supersii, Please refer to the website here: aqua-wasabi.com/

[@josezambrana5773]

Thanks for you video.I am using Fertilizer from the brand Tropica, Specialized Nutrition. in my Hight Tech aquarium. But I got filamentous algae, lower the dose and fertilize with tablets in the substrate, but the algae is still there. How can I eliminate this algae and should I continue to fertilize?

Check your phosphate levels - Official WASABI Aquarium Channel Moderator

[@franciscosousa5071]

Did you get better?

[@franciscosousa5071]

I have the same problem

[@sergiopereira3242]

what would be the dose recommended by the ADA and the daily fertilization schedule for a 100/50/50 with ADA Amazon soil: can you help me?

[@marlonallansupetran7120]

I get holes and lesions on old leaves, I am not sure what fertilizer to add.

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: If you are dosing liquid fertilizations and still getting these conditions, this could be due to high acidity (low pH), or even alkaline waters (high pH). Please check the pH of the water. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.

[@soaale4841]

is it ok that putting fertilizer eventhough the filter is running? or putting fertilizer when all the equipment are off - filter, aeration, co2 and light? thank you....

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: The on/off filtration doesn't or change the way we add liquid fertilization. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.

[@albertjerin5]

Adding the liquid fertilizer shoots up the TDS, what’s the solution please ?

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: This could be due to the type of iron fertilization used, precipitating and causing TDS spikes due to high pH. Iron will be in one of two ferrous oxidation states: +2 charge, or +3 charge. Ferrous iron, the preferred iron form and is soluble in water at any pH. Ferric iron, however, is only soluble below a pH of around 5.5. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.

[@tummalanarendra271]

Definitely the video is awesome I need a advice I started aquarium on dry start method and I observed 2 things 1. Plants leafs are turning to yellow 2. Algae is building up I did not attached co2 and filter yet I am making plants to adjust from submerged to merged Using dooa suikei liquid and spray Kindly advice

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Hi Tummala! 1. Please check your water condition and hardness (pH). The pH should be around 6 to 7.5. Also check if you are adding fertilizer and ensuring only 4 hours of light per day if you have no CO2. 2. Please turn off your light entirely for 48 hours. Do 80% water change for these 2 days. You must have a filter, and a good filtration media such as Seachem Matrix. We hope this helps! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

how much to fertilizer in a planted tank of 60liters

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: This is dependent on a number of factors. If you have lots of hardscape and aqua soil, your actual water volume is not 60L. Hope this helps! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

[@andreranzani]

I used nitrogen for the first time and my shrimp starts to die and the fishes ventilate. The gh ppm was up to the moon at 855 I did a big water change and managed to bring that number down to 200ppm. Is that ok to use nitrogen and iron on the same week?? Or it’s better intercalate one for each week?? Arigato 🙏🏼

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: There must be a reason why your nitrogen is alarmingly high. Ensure your tank's size and amount of fish/livestock is aligned with one another. If your nitrogen is high, skip dosing nitrogen and dose iron. However, I strongly recommend that you find out the root cause of those alarming nitrogen levels.

[@andreranzani]

@@NORIaquaCh thanks for the reply my friend! Just find out that was Actually my doser that dispense all my bright K Neutral at once!! Basically 1ltr!! Luckily I was awake and observing the fishes.

[@NORIaquaCh]

@@andreranzani Official WASABI Moderator: Hi André, my eyes nearly popped out! You are very lucky to save your livestock, and hope you have resolved (and perhaps discipline that rogue doser by decommissioning/fixing it). Keep up the good work, and stay tuned for the next video coming shortly. Thanks for supporting us!

[@MuhammadFaizan-jl4hp]

what about phosphate ?

[@NORIaquaCh]

Official WASABI Moderator: Phosphate is naturally occurring in all planted aquariums, so there's no need to add it. In a heavily planted tank, you need to remove the excess of phosphate to prevent algae outbreaks by doing weekly water changes or using something to remove it in your filtration, such as Seachem PhosBond. Hope this helps ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

[@MuhammadFaizan-jl4hp]

@@NORIaquaCh and what about tanks which are not using soil

[@NORIaquaCh]

@@MuhammadFaizan-jl4hp Official WASABI Moderator: You will need to access what plants you have, and are any melting or have melted and causing phosphate to leach out. You also need to look at your feeding schedules and amounts to your livestock as the food given to your fish has phosphate inside. The best be to control it is by doing a water change. Hope this helps!
