I poked a hole on the top and put a drop at a time (running nano tanks) so I can see how to balance the tank. If algae grows, I back off. If the plants look sad I add a drop and wait to see. But I think less is more. Add a little and see how the plant are doing and add more. If you get algae, back off or wait, if you see droopy plants add a drop, monitor, and see if it needs more. I had some in-vitro crypts that looked amazing in the cup but I waited too long so it was turning brown but the roroot structure looked great. I quickly re-scaped a betta tank and put it in there. Added a drop of Flourish 2-3 days apart for a week. It started to turn green and now it has some leaf growth but I started to see algae so I add 1 drop a week and added some stems plants. Waited a week and the algae doesn't seem to be blooming. Then I waited a week or until I see some leaf die or melt before I dosed. So when in doubt, dose once and wait a week to seek if the plants recover. Eventually, you know how much to dose per week. Substrate, fish stocking/waste, food waste, lighting -there's just to many variable to follow the label. I think it's best to learn to read your tank.
I don't understand your concern dosing liquid fertilizer with an active substrate or not. Adding additional liquid ferts aren't going to make your active substrate release more or less into the water column. You really shouldn't have a need for ferts until the substrate is done leaching ammonia anyway.
No. It says on the bottle 5ml per 250L. If you have a 10L tank, you should only add 0.2ml for a 10L tank. If you meant 10Gal, then you should only put 0.83ml
Cannot buy anything liquid from amazon anymore... everything comes in with no safety seal and 15-35% or more of product leaked into the box. Amazon is horrible at shipping liquid products now.
