Help Theive s dosage

[pcreurer]

I just made this one page post and when I tried to add a picture I lost the post, so here it is again, but short and sweet.

I have a jug of thrive s I want to use up. Directions state I should add 21ml to the tank every day. Seems excessive to me, so I'd like some opinions.

Attached is a Pic of my tank. Be gentle as I realise there is much reorganization to be done, I'm learning.

First need to know how big your tank is

And most Thrive has a suggested dose up to 3x per week. Unless youre cutting that in half for daily

Oh, sorry I thought I'd posted that...
It is a 180g tank.

I think you got the dosing mixed up. Thrive-S states "1 pump per 5g, 1-3x per week" as per their website NA Thrive S All-in-One Shrimp Specific Liquid Aquarium Plant Fertilizer
On the Rotala Butterfly Calculator it suggests for full ei dose it is 35.9ml 3x week which adds 0.226316 ppm N. Your dose of 21mL adds 0.132526ppm N.

Looking at your tank I would consider even halfing that dosage. Do about 15mL 3x week and see how it goes.
Edit: The reasoning for this is due to you not having the plant mass to eat up all those nutrients.

Thank you very much for your input... I see I did not calculate properly.
