Hi all,
Ok, this Tropica stuff is costing me too much!
So EI it is. Sorry in advance for any questions that have been probably asked a million times before.

First of all my tank is about 560L. Am I right in assuming that in a tank this size it would be easier to dose dry??

I got a link from this board somewhere and this is what it spit out for me to dose dry:

Day 1 - 1.5 tsp KNO3, 0.5 tsp KH2PO4, 3.5 tsp MGSO4
Day 2 - 0.5 tsp Trace
Day 3 - Same as D1
Day 4 - Same as D2
Day 5 - Same as D1
Day 6&7 - Rest.

Does this look right?

I know you used to be able to get all this stuff on Aquaessentials, but I cant see it on their website anymore! Any suggestions/links on where to get all this in the one place?

Thanks, Dave.

Yep. To make it even easier just round up to the nearest teaspoon so that you get 2, 1 and 4.

Thanks Ceg.....God, it is actually easier than I thought all along :)

I wonder why AE stopped stocking it!
