Fert for Moss Tank Query.
Hi, I switch from planted tank to a moss tank for Shrimps 3 weeks ago.
I used to dose Seachem N,P,K, Trace and Iron for my planted tank. But now, I intended to keep only Moss in my tank. Wish to ask do anyone dose fertilizer for Moss only tank? If yes, do you dose the full range or just minimal comprehensive Fertilizer? Thanks in advance. |

Moss do not need complicated ferts, just simple occasional doses should do fine. Most imptly is the temperature have to be low

Moss grows well in low temp and fert is not crucial. In fact if too much fert is dosed, algae will appear

Thanks, I have to be more careful with my Fert dosing now as I converted my planted into a shrimps tank. Don't want to end up with beautiful moss but dead shrimps.

Algae is one of the main reason that I decided to give up planted tank. I am only keeping moss now and my lights are only on 5 hrs a day. No algae problem so far and the moss are growing well. Thanks you for your advise.
