Hi all,

I currently use TPN for fertilising my 350 litre low tech. It appears that it may have been discontinued, is this correct?

If so, what alternatives are there that people have used?

Cheers for any help,

Dan
 
Tropica Nutrition is not discontinued, they have only changed the branding and labeling a bit.

Click here

Many of the online shops, partners to the forum sells it.

Hope this helps!
 
Trinity to Neo: A Deja Vous is a glitch in The Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Cheers,
 
Thanks everyone. I have just bought some reduced TPN 100ml bottles and a Premium Plant Fertiliser at Aqua Essentials.

If I ever get the time, unlikely, I might look at making my own! Cheers for the link though.

You could always make your own.

There's a good guide here:

I looked at this webside and they are using the E300 Ascorbic Acid and E202 Potassium Sorbate, I guess they are as antioxidants/preserves?
My question is where i can get them from?
Is it really necessary to use then if I wouldn't mix macro with trace elements? unless it is for different purpose?

Just for reference, making your own is a simple as buying this and adding it to water....
This would lightly depending on the size of your tank last you many many years, saving a lot of money.
 
Thank you for fast response:)
what about Amonia Nitrate? Currently I'm running tank with EI method and I have never used amonia before.
Becouse EI method on my tank doesn't work very well I wanted to try someting new.
I bought tropics ferts to try, but for long run it seems to be a bit too expensive.
 
I am not 100% sure wether my problems are caused by EI I might be the micro issue or my bloody tap water which is hard an contain 20ppm of no3. Since I moved I can't get it right.
later on after work I will describe you my problems and attach some pics

neither of those will be a problem in a planted tank! You need to look at your CO2, lights and flow instead and forget about EI! If you dose what is recommend and keep up the water changes you won't have any issues with nutrients.
