I dose mine separate days but have the amount and the days to dose written on the bottle so that if deployed short notice my better half knows what & when. :lol:

It certainly got me wondering, my Macranda is at best orange although it is sprouting at an amazing rate.

Does this cause you any problems with your green plants though, i.e. showing deficiency's through not getting enough ?

ROTFLMAO I love your way with words, have to say I'm sure plenty of us have felt the way Superman has too. I reduced my dosing recently after being concerned about how much I appeared to be dumping in, to see how much I could reduce it by. The plants started to suffer and I did get a small...

Thanks as always James, I was about to experiment with the mix from GD along with the iron myself and was probably going to be dosing about 4-5 times that much. Looks like I've got a couple of years worth coming !! :lol:

As said above, I mix up 2ltr of NPK solution at a time but only mix 250ml of trace at a time. I found that with 500ml solution for me, it was breaking down towards the end of the bottle. That said - I really should determine a physical measurement for my 2 tanks and just mix the dry powder in...

I was always wary of dosing using EI & dry ferts but took the plunge a couple of months ago, there is plenty of great info on this site for it. Although I have found several different recipes along the way, I now use Tom Barr's (as provided by aqua essentials) and have had no problems. I have...

Many thanks ceg

Sorry for being not quite there, but I've been using Tropica+ on my tank and was looking into the use of dry ferts. There are some great articles here and very easy to understand, however, I keep seeing CSM+B as a dosage but can't find a reference as to what it is and how to make it up. Can...
