Hi all

Ive read both the pins but i still don't understand how you go about working out the amount of each substance is needed, I will be dosing micros and macros on alternate days

I Have the following and I am making the shift from TPN+ because I believe the Ammonium nitrate in it is causing algae:

KNo3
KH2Po4
K2So4
MgSo4
Fluid sensor trace elements

Do these sound right? Im not mixing them all together so therefore i shouldn't need to use ascorbic acid to prevent the chelated substances braking down and forming precipitates.

How would i work out how much i need to dose?

The tank is a Rio 125, 4 hours of 56 watts of T5 and 5ml of easy carbo a day.

Cheers, Jack

Based on a 20 gal tank:
Sunday – 50% or more Water Change then dose [3/16 teaspoon KNO3] + [1/16 teaspoon KH2PO4] + [½ teaspoon MgSO4]
Monday – 1/16 teaspoon CSM+B
Tuesday - [3/16 teaspoon KNO3] + [1/16 teaspoon KH2PO4] + [½ teaspoon MgSO4]
Wednesday - 1/16 teaspoon CSM+B
Thursday - [3/16 teaspoon KNO3] + [1/16 teaspoon KH2PO4] + [½ teaspoon MgSO4]
