Hi all,
I would like to know what you guys here think of my disingenuous day/time.

Plantex csm+b - Mon, wed, Fri
Monopotassium phosphate - Tue, thru, sat
Potassium Sulfate - Mon, wed, sat
Potassium nitrate - Mon, thru, sat

Is this a good dosing day?
Should I dose at night when the light are off or in the morning when the light are on?

side question, I live in a 3 floor apartment on the 2nd floor.
I want to set up a 75g next to the tv. But I'm worry about the floor.
1000lb + sitting on that area put a scare in Me.
Will the flood hold?

Don't know how I got the word disingenuous. But what I meant to say is dosing.

Stupid phone n its spell checks.

I been using this dosing regimen for a 40g breeder planted tank.

1/2 tsp KN03 3x a week
1/8 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
1/8 (10ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
around 30% water change every 2 weeks.

I try to keep it to a regular schedule so it is easier to remember. The way you mentioned your dosing is fine too, but may be harder to keep track and remember.

About the weight of the tank on the 2nd floor. I think 75g should be fine, may want to check in with your apartment complex and see if you are limited to an aquarium size on your lease. May also want to get renter's insurance if you don't already, mine covers any water damage, on the off chance there is a leak in the aquarium. I'm on the 3rd floor and have a 2 40g's each with a shelf of 10g's underneath them. Weight wise everything is fine for me.
