Hi guys,
I've been making my own all in one mix with the following amounts:

20g (4 tsp) KNO3
4.6g (1 tsp) KH2PO4
16.0g (3 tsp) MgSO4
1g  E300 Ascorbic Acid
0.4g  E202 Potassium Sorbate
12g (2 tsp) Chelated Trace 
1000ml Distilled water

My tank is 130litres & is heavily planted.

With this mix I am dosing 50ml daily.

Is this enough to ensure the maximum uptake of the plants is being satisfied?

Thanks
 
Hi skeltonw00t

If you are already using this mix and your plants are doing good then all is well.
I'm using James' C's All in one mix (DIY TPN+ 3) for 2 of my tanks and the only things that look a bit light is the KNO3 and MgSO4. (James' Recipes here James recipes)
James recommends 48g KNO3 in 500ml of water and 17g MgSO4.
However, if your plants are doing well I wouldn't change it. You may not even need the MgSO4 if you live in a hard water area.
 
My plants arent really growing that well mate. I was wondering what i would need to increase in my mix in order to get better growth!
