there thats your phosphate... is my guess Chris

what about a nitrate or phosphate test kit? I would also add that phosphate is a bit more 'powdered glassy' ??? ( I know what I mean!) :) Chris

and don't forget the ukaps article... http://www.ukaps.org/EI.htm I'd go with salts straight into the tank, it makes adjustments easier (for me anyway) and you don't need to mix anything up in advance. Chris

yep me too, powders straight in. Chris

MgSO4 - 1/2 (tsp) per 20 gallons so thats MgSO4 - 1 and 1/2 (tsp) per 60 gallons :thumbup:

ok so NO3 - 3/16(tsp) per 20 gallons PO4 - 1/16(tsp) per 20 gallons trace - 1/16(tsp) per 20 gallons times everything by 3 to get what you need for your 60 gallons. that'll give NO3 - 9/16(tsp) per 60 gallons PO4 - 3/16(tsp) per 60 gallons trace - 3/16(tsp) per 60 gallons or this could be...

go for it. why over complicate things though... you have alot of plants in your tank. if it was me I would start with the full EI dosing. How big is your tank?

3/16th is nearly a quarter so I'd go with that 1/16 is a quarter of a quarter... guess it but keep it consistent Chris

are you sure you didn't select teaspoons rather than grams in the 'amount to add' radio buttons? other than that I think your maths/understanding is right. I would say that with a large tank you might be better off dosing dry salts. I find it easier to adjust. say for example your blyxa...

check out cegs article it'll give you the confidence to do it and has info about mg in it too :thumbup: http://www.ukaps.org/EI.htm Chris

hmmm that seems like reasonable amount have you got a picture of the plants? Chris

how much TPN+ are you adding? Chris

here's an excellent article on EI http://www.ukaps.org/EI.htm or james' planted tank http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/EI.htm is good if you want to mix up solutions do you have any pictures? are you sure it is not the reproductive organs? from tropica website "The black spots under the leaves...

yes. algae are very good at using any ferts excess or otherwise (I know this cos Ceg said it was so :lol: ) they don't wait for the plants to say ok we're done you can have whats left. You'll need to get rid of the algae using one of the green water fixing methods. I only managed to get rid of...

I start dosing straight away, theres no reason not to, as the ferts don't cause algae, but lack of ferts do... why wait is my logic. Chris

nice :thumbup:

me too :lol:

hi, firstly don't worry too much about getting it exactly right... just consistent. what you need is some measuring spoons like these... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6in1-Square-Measu ... 19b7bafa6f then 1/16 will be half the 1/8 teaspoon... I would think if you were going smaller than a 16th you...

I use the same, for the same reasons edit: :D oops, actually use dry salts straight into tank :) chris

ha... thanks Aaron... should have searched again, tried a few weeks ago and found nothing. cheers Chris

hi everyone... could you tell me the difference between KH2P04 and KP04. Shows the importance of paying attention in chemistry lessons. damn :roll: thanks chris
