Em conversa com um representante da Elos

Good afternoon.
I wonder what the nutrients and the percentage present in them .
Elos Fase 1 , Elos Fase 2 e Elos K40
My aquarium is that you have algae, and I wonder where it is coming from these algae, for that I need to know the nutritional information of your fertilizer
Sending some pictures of algae
Elos
Dear Pedro,
The recommend dose is of 1ml for every 100L. In case you have used bottom fertiliser, the dose must be reduced to half and not more then twice a week. We have seen your pictures and the algae is not related to the fertilisers but to the conditions of your aquarium. Please check the levels of CO2, if the layout is fresh (new) please do partial water changes more often. Please have in mind that 80% of the problems with algae are always related to the CO2.
Best regards, Elos PR Manager

Yes , I used elos terra zero and elos bottom mineral
I use fertilizers every day
Use according to the manufacturer recommends
Elos
Regarding to the nutrition: ● Fase1 (1x or 2x a week) is Micro and Chelated Iron; ● Fase2 (2x week) Macros; ● K40 (half dose 1x - 2x a week in nature planted aquariums, normal dose in full stem plant layouts 2x a week) potassium with growing booster and vitamins; ● Extra1 concentrated chelated iron (1x a week in exchange with Fase1) Any reason to use liquid fertilisers every day? We hope you are not dosing all in the same day. You can exchange micros and macros, use also K40 always with Fase1 and Extra1 in exchange with Fase1.
As you may understand, no matter the manual we do, will never satisfy the needs because planted aquariums are not the same, neither use the same plants and quantity. If you have used our BottomSystem, you must start to fertilise on the 3rd week after setup. Then you must use only half of the recommended dose. Manual was done regarding the use of substrate as only bottom system and not with other additives.

The aquarium is now three months.
I use Phase 1 + K40 (1 ml each) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
Phase 2 (1ml) Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
TAP 20% every Saturday
Basicamente ele diz para não usar o recomendado, pois usei substratos férteis
Diz também para não usar conforme o esquema e não fertilizar todos os dias.
Até que ponto está isso correcto? Penso que o problema das minhas algas seja o excesso de luz e não de fertilizantes.
E no meio disto tudo fique sem saber na mesma os valor nutricionais da gama.
Obrigado a todos.
