much appreciated, thanks :D

Cheers for the reply, how do you make your mix? How many grams in how in many mls? And what do you dose? Cheers, Jack

I've started dosing EI on my tank, and I still haven't mixed up my traces which are due tomorrow, what is the recommended dose? I have shrimp so I want to avoid dosing too much copper if possible. Cheers, Jack

ok, thanks for the info, Jack

could I possibly use DI water to mix up the solution to prolong its life? to prevent the chelator braking down and forming the precipitate?

anyone? I can't find any info

Hi all, will my fluid sensor traces breakdown in my hard ph7.2 tap water? I'm guessing so with the Chelator they use? Sorry if grammar is poor, on the iPod. Cheers, Jack

Thanks clive, excellent reply! It all seems a lot clearer now! I have been rounding up values to he nearest 1/4 of a teaspoon, I just need to buy some DI water and some dosing spoons now, Cheers, Jack :thumbup:

I have another question (sorry) I have used Clives recipe for the 20ppm No3, 2ppm Po4, 30ppm of K and, Appropriate levels of CSM+B in fractions of teaspoons, but how do i convert each of these values into mass? Thanks for the help

I've just made myself feel stupid! O is the oxygen :oops:

thats confusing me now :? Why have they not just made the values up so they equal 100%?

This is FSO's KNO3 breakdown Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) contains 13.9% nitrogen (N) and 38.7% potassium (K) What makes up the remaining 47.4%?

Cheers, Aaron

Hi, I'm just wondering what are the ideal values for N, P and K in a high Tech, densely planted aquarium? I'm just asking as I'm working out how many grams of each substance i should put in my own PMDD+PO4 solution to achieve appropriate levels I have so far gathered that 1ppm is appropriate...

try placing the DC in different areas of the tank to see if it remains a greeny yellow, if it doesnt you know its a flow related issue as CO2 isn't getting to that position very well

Cheers, james!

Hi all Ive read both the pins but i still don't understand how you go about working out the amount of each substance is needed, I will be dosing micros and macros on alternate days I Have the following and I am making the shift from TPN+ because I believe the Ammonium nitrate in it is causing...

Cheers, Aaron, excellent reply! Thanks

Hi all I have heard this mentioned on a forum a few times and i wondered whether it is true as i don't think it is! This person claims that excess potassium will restrict iron uptake, surely this defeats the whole point in EI?! This person has an amazon sword with pin holes, potassium...

huh? :? I dose 5ml of each to my rio 125 and my plants and fish are doing fine.

brilliant! thanks :D

My rio 125 goes through bottles of TPN+ like nobodies business, i have enough to last me till christmas so for christmas im going to ask for dry ferts. I want to dose the powders dry instead of mixing them up if possible. Ive had a scan through the pin but still dont know how to estimate, the...

yes, tropica plant nutrition, make sure you get the TPN+ though, not just TPN

fluid sensor online are the cheapest that i have found, they sponsor the forum. Yes TPN+ and easy carbo can be used in conjunction with each other.

Thanks to both of you, exactly what I was looking for. :thumbup:

Hi all Im sick of paying over the odds for TPN+ for it to last 2 seconds, so do any of you have a dry powder recipe that will be of a similar specification to the TPN+? I dose 5ml a day on a 125 litre tank and growth is very good and I have no algae, considering this is an immature tank I'm...
