    Adding salt to the aquarium water....is it a good thing?

    One small teaspoon will not do the damage you suggest Garuf. If you use RO all the time it can be useful to add a small amount of tonic salt. I have also read this is beneficial Grandb3rry and used to do this with no ill effect to plants or fish.

    How do I store my liquid ferts?

    Heya Chrisi, Yes try fridging, or try freezing some. Try using water that you pre-boiled (and left to cool). Try using a sterilised bottle. Or try all of the above!

    See I was thinking about the difference between AE and garden ones. Look at the label, it says Potassium phosphate. Look at the ingredients and its Potassium oxide and phosphorus oxide. This is not the same as potassium phosphate and I do wonder if plants are able to utilise it as such. I don't...

    Is Brighty K a Bright Idea?

    Well done Ceg for an accurate and very helpful summation, the thread was going off the rails a tad and perhaps would be better locked now? PS I did not know anything about PMDD, so cheers for that!
