Hello there, day one can be any day of the week, Seachem works on a 7 day cycle. So you can assign day one to any day, it would mostly depend on how your week looks for you and what days you can dedicate certain tasks like water changes. With regards to the buffers, the dosage depends on the water parameters in your area, it’s usually a standard 7-7.5 already but I’ve seen people with 8.0 and higher in their tap water. Also it would depend on what plants, fish or invertebrates you have in the tank. Not everything prefer the same acidity or alkalinity in the water. That’s mainly why I don’t have a calculation for the buffers.

Hey thanks for your reply! I've started this hobby this week and filled tank on Sunday, added stability and prime to start with and will be adding fertilizers next week, just to clarify, do spreadsheets take in consideration co 2 injection ? as my tank will not have co2, at least for now, can I still use the spreadsheets without using co 2 ?@@JesemanuelRamirez

@@lukeborg9523 yes, co2 will only aid the plants in using the fertilizers. The spreadsheet only addresses the use of the Seachem products as stated on the packaging. So how much co2 you need and how it affects the tank is out of the scope of the spreadsheet. I will advise you have a co2 meter in the tank, (typically it’s a color changing liquid in a artsy glass container that you stick to the glass inside the aquarium) since it can wipe out everything if it too high.

Awesome a fellow Puertorican! Thank you for watching the video.

The point was missed because it wasn’t the focus of the video. The point of the video was to explaining how Seachem recommends you use their products. In any case weather you should or shouldn’t dose something is another topic altogether.

@@JesemanuelRamirez i understand !

ROFL 🤣 yeah I’m ok I got a mosquito bite that was really annoying, couldn’t stop scratching

@@JesemanuelRamirez hahaha I was legit worried! I'm glad you're okay 😊

Every first day after the water change. I believe it’s directed on the excel bottle.

@@JesemanuelRamirez thanks!

Hey thanks! I’ve just been busy with the business and had a few medical problems. Life and such but I’ve been thinking of making more as soon as I have some spare time

Did you watch the whole video?

Yes i did, and again If your a person with a littel bit of brain you absolutely dont need this overly complucatet video. At least thats my opinion

@@thimoschreiber4275 lol ok dude, by the way it’s “complicated” not “complucatet”. It doesn’t take too much brain power to check your grammar. Clearly this video was not made for you but you’re not smart enough to see that. You might have the knowledge but not everyone does, or wants to take the time to do all the math. I made it so they didn’t have to sit down and make their own spreadsheet or make mistakes with the math and still enjoy the hobby, what have you done to improve the aquascaping community?

I’ll check it out.

permissions are ok so Im not sure why but just in case here is the link again: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-sr26nQB-kUJ71pf-7l1ZfbrPCGlS9oh1csFKXZfq9w/edit?usp=sharing

are you trying to access the spreadsheet through the phone? If so Google Docs is kinda iffy if opening it through a browser on your phone. If its on a computer then you should be able to just double click the box with the number to change it.

@@JesemanuelRamirez it was my phone. Thanks! Lol

@@glitchdatabase4033 ok, did you manage to edit it?

Add some fast growing plants and less nutrients dosing and it’ll fix in a few weeks

Hey thanks!

I know, I’ve been away from making videos for hot minute. There are some topics I want to tackle and I hope I can get them done soon. Thanks for the comment, I’ll make more soon.

What % of a water change should be made on day 7?

Hey no problem! With regards to ph it really depends on the plants you plan on having in your aqua scape, there are plants that will melt in acidic and others in alkaline water. Some plants need low hardness levels and others won’t really grow if your water is too soft. It’s best to research where the plants you have/want are originated. That will give you a better understanding of what you need. On the matter of wether to start from day one I would say yes, but I don’t know what you are using as substrate. If you are only using gravel then yes. Hope this helps! And have fun with the hobby.

@@JesemanuelRamirez thank you so so much, this info really helps. May God bless. 👍😁💯

Enjoy

Well the sheet is not made to account for every single scenario. We don’t all have the same plants or load of plants, and not all plants take up the same amount of nutrients all the time, so you’ll always have to adapt depending on your specific needs. The sheet is meant to make the Seachem chart easier to follow and to make a quick chart to use as specified by Seachem for their products, depending exclusively on your aquarium size and volume. If you have the specifics on how much your plants consume Nitrogen, and you can quantify it, then you can adapt the chart to your plants needs. You can download the chart and modify it to fit your model as you wish.

Gracias! Que bueno que te fue útil.

Thank you! I'm planning another video soon. Be sure to sub, i don't post often, only when i have something to say. That way i keep my content useful and not click bait crap. Thanks for your kind words.

Hmmm to be honest I don't really know what could lower your pH in this case. PH can lower do to decomposing organic matter. Also 2 gallons is a small aquarium for a Betta, I can't recommend enough a bigger aquarium. I know not everyone has the space, which is why they get small aquariums, but a ~40L aquarium would be much better for the fish and easier to control the parameters as well. One missed food pellet in a 10L has a bigger impact than in a big aquarium. With regards to the sponge filter, how are you cleaning it? I would suggest that you don't wash it under running tap water or try to get it super clean either. Take the water you're changing out of the tank to agitate the sponge in, to remove the debris in it. Besides that, check your water source, to check if any fluctuations occurred on that end. Hope that helps.

I would suggest weighing the amount suggested in grams. Then dividing the amount of the product in grams to the amount of liters it treats to the figure the ratio. There you can find out how many grams per liters. Also, the Neutral regulator is not formulated for planted aquariums. I use the acidic and alkaline buffers to bring the water parameters to where I want them.

@@JesemanuelRamirez thank you very much appreciate your response and your help I'll change the product to your recommendation thank you

ROFL!!! Best comment so far

Hello there Preston. How i was doing it is that i would make my water changes on sundays and let it rest for the day and follow the suggested dosing plan from seachem. So a 6 day dosing routine and on the seventh a water change and repeat the dosing cycle again. Hope that answers your question. Let me know if i missed something.

@@JesemanuelRamirez So water changes Sunday with no dosing? Probably just prime right? And just keep repeating that schedule indefinitely for all the other seachem products? Right now I have prime, safe, stability, flourish and excel. Was hoping to get away with what I have and not purchasing more. Lol. Im coming off a 3 week dry start and I'm flooding tomorrow and waiting until the tank is cycled prior to adding anything. Thank you for the speedy response and all help is appreciated. I plan to use everything I have for the initial start up.lol

@@prestonj6263 yes, i only do prime and buffers for pH and such, no ferts.

As stated in the video, Seachem suggest using Excel for 6 days and 1 day of rest. The spreadsheet is easy to use and will give you a dosing what and when and how much on a day by day basis.

I use RO water when dosing with the seachem line

I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the spreadsheet and sorry for the late reply

Glad it helped

I provided a google sheets document that calculates the dosage for each product. The chart is free to use

theres a chart for liters and one for gallon measurements

@@JesemanuelRamirez I can’t edit it or work it out how much daily for 350 litre tank flourish excel ?

@@jordanjames5042 ok sorry for the delay, i was going through some IRL stuff, ill take a look and let you know

@@jordanjames5042 350 Liters, 46.3 ml after a big water change and 9.26 ml the rest of the week

its kinda tricky but make sure the sole is flat and small adjustments on the blade

it really doesnt matter in my opinion, as long as you keep the dosing schedule but if anything maybe before the lights go on. Again just try to dose during the morning, that way they will be in contact with it for a longer period during the day.

@@JesemanuelRamirez Really appreciate it. Last question, should I provide 7 or 8 hours of lighting? Last but not least, is there any break in between where the lights should be off or they Just stay on?

i swear by them. They are essential

the chart specifies 6 days a week, on the seventh day is for water change and rest

Hello Amir, thanks for asking. The spreadsheet I made will help you dose seachem excel according to the recommended amount from the manufacturer. They recommend dosing 6 days of the week and the amount is dependent on the volume of water your aquarium has. You can use or copy the Google Sheet I linked in the video description so you can determine how much Excel you need for you aquarium.

5 ml per 50 US gallons (189L) per day, unless starting a new aquarium which will require more. Do not overdose; for this product is better fall short than exceed or it may kill. Use rule of three to get amount for your aquarium volume (real water volume after deducting substrate, hardscape, etc. and not just tank size).
