I wish I could get @zeus calculator working. Looks proper tasty.

Just thought I'd run this by people just to check if my thinking is right. Made a bottle of ferts up and got things wrong, however I do know what's in the bottle. Po4 is way too high which I thought I could just add more kno3 to balance it up but the amount I would have to add probably wouldn't...

Had reason to take a close look at my tank, sort of stand back and take an objective look, something is wrong. So anyway thought I'd get back to basics and look at my dosing. E.I, although the reason we see a lot of the brilliant scapes seen in here and a way to let the novice with high lights...

Not often discussed, how important is potassium? Kno3 and po4 are obviously the most consumed in a thriving tank, magnesium seems to be as long as there's some same as traces but potassium you don't hear much about. I noticed that on a calc and on Clives EI article 30ppm a week is recommended...

What's the difference between this product and EI dosing? I usually dose dry dosing but I just purchased some tropica. Going away for a bit so I'll order some more salts when I'm back in to take the delivery. Any recommendations for dosing tropica in the meantime or just what it says on the bottle?

which traces do you base your ei recipe on if you don't know what the exact recipe is? I have some AE+ trace which has been sitting about for a while because I needed to use some others up first and now AE don't sell it so can't find the mix with water formula. Tried AE but they can't remember.

I'm usually a spoon man but I need to mix up a bottle of ferts for when I go away that can be dosed in increments of 10ml. Reason being my 9 y.o daughter will be tank sitting and on the pay roll to dose the tank before she goes to school. To keep things simple for her I have 250ml dosing bottles...

Picked some Tetra root tabs up at lfs today because they were reduced and couldn't see out else I fancied. Couldn't help thinking of Clive when I read the back and made me chortle. So this is how rumours start.

Just thought I'd check, thinking of dosing my substrate and I can remember someone mentioning Osmocote. I just have plain gravel as this tank I adapted from a standard un-planted community tank. Looking back through some pics of my tank I noticed there was a period when my plants seemed to look...

Has anyone tried making root tab pellets out of dry ferts? The addition of tabs has vastly improved my big Amazons I have plenty of dry ferts and I'm sure I've seen it done somewhere.

I have been fine tuning my dosing as I'm trying the approach of dosing what it needs a day rather than more than it needs and empty the rest out with a water change. I started of with pmdd+po4 at the top end of the scale and gradually worked backwards a ml at a time while watching for...

After all the warnings about the stuff I have tried weaning my tank off EasyCarbo aswell as upping my Co2 and circulation using an internal filter but usually after a week of not dosing it my BBA starts growing back and I again reach for the EC. Am I making things worse by doing this? Just...

Just embarking on mixing up some fert mix, I have been adding the kno3, phos and mag sulph dry direct to the tank with leaf zone traces purely because before buying my powders I had just bought a large bottle of Leaf Zone and wanted to use it up. After reading various articles I'm a bit confused...
