So I have only been able to find 1 article about a person using azomite in their planted tank as a micro and macro supplement, with apparently NO issues with shrimp, snails, or plants deaths. His plants did start dying when he overdosed them, but his dose was about 1/2 a teaspoon per 50 gallons (2grams/50gal) once a month. I have a 5 gallon, low tech with 2wpg @5400k, and low to med maintenance plants. I'm approximating my dosage at .1g once a month or at major water changes. I will dose today, and keep everyone updated.
I have an abundance of azomite available to me. And so I've decided to try it out. I only have plants and snails, so I'm not concerned with killing livestock, but I am curious if anyone else has tried using it as a nutrient supplement (basically adding water and creating a chemical solution, and adding it to the tank) and what their successes of failures were. Again, my research showed very little on the subject.
