Aquarium Advice Addict
I have the following fertz
1 CSM+B Plantex
1 Mono Potassium Phosphate
1 Potassium Nitrate
1 Potassium Sulfate
i added some plants which some the store couldnt id them, they where added yesterday and today i did a phosphate and nitrate reading
phosphate .50 and nitrate 10. i recognize some of the plants as java fern which i planted did not attach it to anythinhg, baby tears, asian ambulia. dwarf hair grass or microsword,
I read this but i have some questions
I also will add about 1/8" and 1/32" teaspoon of KNO3 and KH2PO4 respectively once a week or two
if I test the water and it contains the same as i mention would i need to add phosphate and nitrates?
how much and should I add of the trace mix?
how would you tell if i need to add sulfate? and how much of it if I do?
I'm trying to figure out chucks calculator but not sure what or how its workds, i put in 3/16 under table spoon but it says nn something like not reading. i place 1/4 and also it doesnt but if i use a dot . instead of a / backslash it gives me a reading but then under grans it says that is equivilent to like five grams is this right u need to dose that much to get something going? im trying to figure out how much do I need to start dosing in my tank and im getting confuse like, maybe im an idiot to this lol
tom barr under EI shows
60 – 80 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 3/4 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 3/16 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1/4 tsp K2S04 3x a week
+/- ¼ tsp (15ml) Trace 3x a week
i dont get it how does 1/4 tsp = 15ml when 15ml is actually 1tbs?
em i suppose to dose when I figure this out directly into tank or I need to make a solution out of this? and if so why does putting dry fertz in 500ml of water make it less potent than 1ml when your actually putting it in a 75g.
I'm a mess with all this confusion. wow lol
