Just a note, I'll try to get the new micro nutrients to Alan sometime late this month, or early next month.
Like Tropica and SeaChem combined + several other more bioavailable goodies. I based the formula off of 54 aquatic plant species for the ratio.
Then I took the best two trace mixes available, added those to a matrix cluster to derive the forumlation.
This will be sold in the dry powdered form, so you do not pay for water or 1 more shipping for anything with water in it.
I'm not keen on CMS personally, never liked it.
TMG has proven very good, Flourish, a bit less so.
Alan will also carry some dry powdered Iron with a gluconate chelator as well as a nitro blaster Iron which is even mre bioavailable and provides small amnio acids as a nitrogen source. This is extremely concentrated and to be used in small amounts daily.
The cost will be about 10-2 cheaper than TMG or the SeaChem products from mail order places.
Note, I'm not selling this, just developing.
Alan will be the one to bug
BTW, GH booster ads some Mg and Ca as well as plenty of K2SO4.
Basically a good additive after a weekly water change, adds K+, and soem Ca/Mg so you likely do not need to test those either.
