Hello,


I would like to introduce another great product in our shop.


From our experiences customers are sometimes very confused about mixing the salts at home and therefore we decided to create our EI easy dosing way for you.


For more informations about the EI please follow the link below to visit our article on our website:


http://www.co2art.co.uk/blogs/blog/...dex-easy-way-fertilisers-for-planted-aquarium


What do we offer?


500ml dosing bottle with pump - those bottles are already premixed for you and ready to use. They are supplied in two different varieties ( Low Tech and High Tech ) as well as Macro and Micro separately.


Low Tech


Macro

Micro

High Tech

Micro

After your bottles run out you do not have to buy / pay for new bottle but instead you will need to purchase refill for your bottles. Those refills are supplied as dry salts (already mixed and labeled) so all you need to do is mix the salt with RO / DI water in your bottles and you are ready to go again.


We do supply those refills in two different sizes 500ml and 2500ml. Again Macro and Micro separately as well as two different for Low tech and High tech tanks.


Please note for 2500ml container you will need to go to 500ml bottle and select it from drop down menu as those refills will be supplied with RO water as well. After your initial 2500ml container run out you just need to purchase the dry version for the container and add RO / DI water.


Please use the drop down menu to select the right size 500ml / 2500ml

I hope you like our new products and more will come very soon.
 
Best practice is to dose the Macronutrient on different days than the Micronutrient. If dosed concurrently, there is a stronger tendency for the Phosphate to combine with the metals in the Micronutrient solution and to form insoluble precipitates which cloud the water and remove some of the nutrients from the water.

This is something i was suspecting for quite a long time.. but never read it in any place.
 
There´s something i´m not following so well.. or i think is not so well explained for those who doesn´t deal with "EI".

The High Tech version is composed of two bottles. A macronutrient solution and a micronutrient solution. Each pump of our bottle delivers 1.2ml of solution which, when added to 10L of tank water, increases the nutrient levels approximately as follows:
Macronutrient
6.6ppm Nitrate
1.3ppm Phosphate
4.7ppm Potassium

Micronutrient
0.26ppm Iron
0.15ppm Magnesium

In order to determine the proper dosage per week for a given tank size the easiest thing to do is to divide the tank size by 10L and multiply the result by 3.

Here is a example of how the dosage for a 40L tank would be determined:

40L divided by 10L = 4 pumps.
Therefore 4 pumps of each bottle increases the nutrient level in 40L of tank water by the ppm values listed above. This should be accomplished 3 times per week for the Macronutrient bottle and 2 times per week for the Micronutrient bottle. A total of 12 pumps per week of the Macronutrient bottle and 8 pumps per week of the Micronutrient bottle should be accomplished.

So, if one pump delivers 6.6 PPm nitrate and 1.3 PPM phosphate for each 10 liter.. means for instance in a tank of a 100 liter i would have to dose 10 pumps wich corresponds to 66 PPm Nitrate and 13 PPM phosphate or 12 ml a week.
I believe this is too high doses for taken as reference as plants wouldn´t aborb much more than 20 to 30 PPm a week.

Am i wrong here?
Best compliments
 
Hello,

Pretty cool ;)

Thank you very much. We tried to make a simple way for customers as well as our fertilization system is much cheaper then any other branded products.

This is something i was suspecting for quite a long time.. but never read it in any place.

Yes this is correct. Phosphate will react wit Iron and this is why you need to dose Micro and Macro separately.

Am i wrong here?

Unfortunately yes. Your calculations will be correct if you dose the 10 pumps to 10L aquarium. But because you need to treat more water (100L) you also need to add more fertilizations, however this does not mean that the values (ppm) will be higher.

Two quick examples:

Our Neutro Co2 (liquid) treats 250L aquarium with 5ml daily. To 500L aquarium you will need to add 10ml to get the same value as in 250L aquarium but that does not mean you add double dose.

To reach your target of 7.5 ppm NO3 you will need to add 122 mg KNO3 to your 10.0 L aquarium. Where to reach your target of 7.5 ppm NO3 you will need to add 1.223 g KNO3 to your 100.0 L

Basically to treat more water you will add more fertilizations.

Hope that will make it clear for you.
