NEW PRODUCT

Liquid NPK + M
I have been testing this product for a long time now and it has performed very well so far. It is tailored towards dosing via the EI method.

Dosing for full EI levels is 1 pump of each bottle per 10 gallons 3x per week.
For lower light/lower tech tanks dosing at 1 pump per 20 gallons 3x per week.

For example: For a 20 gallon higher light tank would be as follows-
2 pumps of the micros per day Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
2 pumps of the macros per day Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
50% week water change is suggested on the 7th day per EI guidelines followed by addition of the GH booster of your choice(I have some for sale below in the dry ferts section).

Bottles are 500ml each.

This will last more than 41 weeks on a 20 gallon tank dosing 3x per week.


I am asking $29




Im sorry for the length of this post, there isnt much I can do about it with the current format of this section.

DIY EI Liquid Ferts

Want to dose ferts but the cost of liquid ferts is too expensive???
Dont want to go through the hassle of mixing dry ferts yourself???


Then this is for YOU!!!!!!



What you get- 2x 500ml dosing bottles(1x Micros, 1x Macros)
2 complete refill packets( so you are essentially getting enough to make 1500ml of both micros and macros)

Cost- $28 shipped

It will be shipped without water, all you will need to do is add 500ml of RO water to each bottle. When the solution in each bottle runs out, simply add the refill packet to the appropriate dosing bottle and add 500ml of RO water and you are good to go again.

Dosing Instructions:
Add 5ml per 20 gallons of water for each the micro and macro 3x per week on alternating days per the EI dosing instructions.

How long will this last me??
20 Gallon tank- roughly 2 years
40 gallon tank- roughly 1 year
80 gallon tank- roughly 6 months
and so on...

I plan to start with the easiest solution and work to more complex solutions as needed. I'm sure in the near future I will get a CO2 regulator. I love gagets.

I like the lazy way myself.

So weekly after water changes I dose:

Flourish comprehensive (micros)

API LeafZone (macros)

Flourish excel will switch to Glut later (Carbon source)

Root Tabs every 3-4 months or as needed.

But my tanks are small so the liquid Ferts actually go a long way for me.

Update

Thanks to your help the plants are growing again at good rate.

Here's what I did:

Flourish excel one a day
Flourish twice a week
Leaf zone once a week
Plant tabs every 4 months

Again, thanks for all you help
