Please read this before you start your dosing regimen.

"Although planted aquariums are often considered to be difficult for the beginning
hobbyist, we believe that planted aquaria are actually ideal for the beginner. With
the right substrate the beginner can have a successful aquarium with a minimum of
maintenance. As the beginner becomes more comfortable in the hobby they will feel
inclined to experiment a bit and thus build on the solid foundation they have
already established. It won't always be necessary to dose your aquarium with each
of the products in the Flourish line, but as an example, we have developed one
possible dosing regimen using all of our plant products. This is by no means the
only way to dose your aquarium; it is merely a suggestion. Your dosing regimen will
depend greatly on a variety of factors, including lighting, initial water quality, how
heavily stocked your aquarium is, substrate selection, and types of plants; so don't
be surprised if getting the results you want takes a little experimentation."
