hi all

im thinking about changing my whole ferts dosing to dry ferts from here http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/dry-fer ... 5_146.html its a far more cost effective way of dosing & postage costs to northern ireland is blummin joke, could almost take ferry over to scotland & pick them up my self cheaper if i wanted alot of stuff.

but not sure what exactly i would need to make my own comprehensive ferts so could you please advise, thanks.

its to be used on a 35lt tank & 240lt if anybody wanted to know.

Garden centres and DIY stores often stock dry ferts in their gardening sections.

They have have different names though, so you'll need to look at the labels.

Not thought about crossing the border - the only problem then is the pesky euro.

unable to physically go down south of ireland as i got 2 kids & 1 has server disability & doesn't travel well, other is to young to be stuck in a car for any length of time, postage costs from the south - north is worse than uk postage because it classed as uk & not ireland so different country (international postage costs apply) even though i could walk over border.
