so its 1 and a half for N, 1 quarter fpr P and 1 for trace? all in 500 ml bottles and 40ml dosed 3x weekly?? just to get it right :)

so if i just use the same amount on the same spoon the whole time then i shoulod be ok? so how many teaspons of the three should i use as my base? i've decided to use 500 ml as the amount of water and have the two NPK in one bottle with the trace seperate, how many teaspoons should i use...

but seeing as the different teaspoons are all different sizes then which one is the 6 grams??

so will i keep the trace in a seperate bottle? well could you tell me in both? i don't know how much is a teaspoon, i know we've got three different types of teaspoon here and they're all different sizes..... and there's also a possibility my chemistry teacher will let me use one of the digital...

Hi! I understand the above and want to do it for my dosing scheme but the salts i have are mono-potassium phosphate and potassium nitrate as well as the trace elements mix, all from AE, i have no magnesium sulfate. I like the idea of having them all in one bottle and just using the syringe once...

thanks for that, i'll just get a fe for 85 so, 19 euro twice a year seems reasonible Paul

well, one of the has come up for sale with me and it turns out cheaper than an FE (75 euro and with a solenoid) but refills are 16 euro and i want to know how long the last in a juwel rekord 600 with 2wpg because FE refills are 19 euro every 56 months.... Thanks in advance for any replies guys...

thanks a million, i found dat tut about half an hour after that post, :oops: i will get a drop checker, check valve and bubble counter and order the 4dkh too. the circulation pump came while i was on holiday too, i re-scaped the tank just using the same inert gravel and tried to make the most...

ok thanks, oh and i'm guessing the 4dkh solution is necessary? sorry for the dunce question btw

what type of bubble counter is the best or does it matter? what is the co2 solution?

nice journal, i much prefer it now :thumbup: i'm stripping my tank today and re-doing it with ph, java fern narrow, hc, hairgrass, bacopa monneiri, rotala rotundifolia, fissidens fontanus, anubias eyes, vallis, E. tennellus, diplis diandra, slate and the branchiest bog wood i have. i'll take...

i see all the other tanks, but they always seemed so distant and unreal because i thought i'd have to be made of money etc. to have a tank like that and that i couldn't have a long term set-up, it's through Aaron's iterview that i was sent over here :D its just something about Aaron's tank that...

from the interview with Aaron North in PFK, he was my age and i loved his tank, i decided to see what all the fuss was about and i'm glad i did :D

i was going to use the sand as i feel it looks better and find it easier to plant plantlets in, i will just leave it inert then and carry on with my EI dosing. the two pieces of kit i was going to get were the single gauge manometer...

is that the same 15 year old Aaron North that had his tank featured in the june pfk?
