Thanks for sharing that explanation Darren, that makes perfect sense now. I'm pretty sure it has made a difference, so Mg must have been the issue. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Morning Clive, so according to the nutrient calc for 100L i should be dosing the following 1.5g KNO3 (1/4 tsp) 0.58g KH2PO4 (1/8 tsp) (or half of a 1/4 tsp as i dont have a 1/8 measuring spoon) 3.7g MgSO4 (3/4 tsp) im going more on weight rather than tsp's. i have small scale digital scales...

And constipation. Lol Ceg, I'll post Tomorrow with the Grams per dose (dry dosing) of each. It's a 120L tank I think I worked it out based on 100L of water after displacement (ish). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

yeah thats great, thanks

im about to set up a new tank 120L "shallow" with high light and co2 injection. i wasnt going to go the EI route which i did on my last tanks years ago making up liquid mixes etc but ive changed my mind. i will be dry dosing and have ordered KNO3, KH2PO4 and trace mix. i havent used MgSO4...

i cant add much here as it's already been said. definatly nitrogen deficiency and probably carbon as well. **as above**
