Struggling with plants in shrimp tank

[Andys temperate tank]

Be careful adding root tabs. Some can cause an ammonia spike.

Good point - the ones I got were from Aqua Essentials and didn’t do this as far as I could see (during cycling so no spike detected)

Mine were tropica brand

Ah okay, thanks for the replies. So if I brought the fertiliser mentioned, I'd be better adding 0.3ml a day rather than 2ml once a week? May look into CO2 diffusers more next month providing all goes well with fertiliser

Yes to the ferts dosage.

The dosage is 1ml per 10 litre of tank water per week.
You have a 25L tank so that works out at 2.5ml a week.
Only dose about 20%, so that is now 0.5ml a week, divided by 7 is less than 0.1ml a day.
Maybe dose 0.2ml every other day.
You will require a 1ml syringe to measure the small amount, available on ebay for very little cost.
