Macro Mixes
1 litre bottle: (1000ml)
59 grams of K2SO4, Potassium Sulfate
6 grams of KH2PO4 Mono Potassium Phosphates
Fill with RO or Distilled water and shake well. Let sit overnight.
In 1 liter bottle: (1000ml)
65 grams of KNO3
Fill with RO or Distilled water and shake well. Let sit overnight.
Micro Mix
In 1 liter bottle: (1000ml)
80 grams of dry Trace Element mix.
Fill up both bottles with RO or Distilled water and shake. Wait over night until dissolved.
Dose 1ml each solution for every 10 gallons of water daily before lights come on. Each week right before your WC take a nitrate and phosphate reading. You want 10-20ppm nitrates and 1-3ppm phosphates. The readings will show you if you are dosing too much, too little, or the right amount of macro's. You can adjust the amounts used from week to week if needed. I rarely ever dose nitrates in any of my tanks.
You want to go by what your drop checker color is. Don't worry about what it says about CO2 in the thread.
