Hi
Can anyone help me with this please;
Im using the Aquarium Plant Food UK kit, however due to there being PO4 and NO3 in the tap water along with the high fish load i havnt been dosing these.
Ive been dosing;
500ml Bottle, 50ml Dose alternate days with a rest day then 50% WC.
Macro
6 Tsp of Magnesium Sulphate
2 Tsp of K2S04 (from
Micro
1 Tsp of Cheleated Trace Elements
2 Weeks ago i took a lot of fish back to the LFS to reduce the bioload, ive since been testing my water on the water change day. Nitrates 40-80 and Phosphate 2ppm.
I have asked the lab at work to test my water (full results next week) but they have said that my Nitrates are 17ppm. (Test kit obviously wrong)
So should i be adding some NO3, im thinking no if there is 17ppm still left on wc day?
Im also confused by the calculator as the results will say a target of eg 7.5ppm of K, but isnt the target 30ppm a week?
Ive also tried the cheleated trace but it doesn't add with the instructions from Here which says 1 tsp
