do i need to mix TPN+ with water before dosing?

hi, i currently use TPN+ as fertilizer for my tank. but it says in the instructions that you must mix it with a tub of tank water before adding to the tank. i have been doing this, but is it really necessary? it would be so much easier if i could just tip it in.

cheers

I am using DIY fertilizer which is much more concentrated than TPN+ and I am always tiping it in.
Note that a lot of folks is dozing dry salts, what can be more concentrated?
Make your live simpler and just tip it in .

I only have to does a small amount for a nano tank and i use a syringe to measure the amount i need from the bottle then suck up tank water into the syringe until it is full and then empty it in the tank. Obviously this wont work too well if you dose amounts too large for a syringe measure.
