Hey i was wondering if this trace element mix i bought is ok to use disolved in water in my planted tank. Its not chelated, is in granule form and the ingredients are...

calcium-10%
magnesium-2.9%
sulphur-12%
manganese-5%
Iron-5.10%
zinc-5.10%
copper-1%
boron-0.5%

thanks
 
If its for terrestrial plants, don't use it. Stick to aquatic fertilizers only.

this is what plantex CSM +Boron looks like, and is a safe aquatic trace mix:
1.5% Magnesium (MG), 1.5% Magnesium (cheleted), 0.10% Copper (Cu), 7.0% Iron (Fe - cheleted), 2.0% Maganese (Mn - Cheleted), 0.06% Molybedenum (MO), and 0.40% Zinc (Zn - cheleted)

Use that as a guideline for what's safe to use
