That's it.

Hi Tom
I have a question about the above dosing amounts of TMG or
Tropica's Plant Nutrition liquid . You are recommending dosing 2.5 ml per 20 gallons or 75.7 liters
per day. Tropica recommends dosing 5 ml per 50 liters or 13.2 gallons
per week.
Why are you suggesting dosing so much extra TMG? That's a 231% increase over what Tropica recommends.
This is how I got the 231% increase:
(2.5 ml ÷ 75.7 liters x 7 days per week) ÷ (5 ml ÷ 50 liters x 1 day per week) x 100 = 231.2%
Also, the EI dosing of Traces calls for 2 ml 3x per week for 10 to 20 gallon aquariums and for 5 ml 3x per week for 20 to 40 gallon aquariums.
It's odd that there is such a difference. Is this a typo?
Thanks
