Fertilizer

[tmdavies]

I just recently upgraded my tank to hi tech and i have never used ferts before properly. At the moment I'm using seachem npk but its almost all gone.
I like the idea of mixing my own ferts but I'm completely unaware of which to buy.
Here is the website I will be getting the dry mix from, could someone just take a look and pick out the ones i will need and also mention any that are missing that i will need.

Any tips on ferts are welcome if anyone knows any good sites about the theory that would be a great help.
Thanks

The EI starter kit on the page has probably every thing you need. Kno3 (for nitrate and potassium), KH2Po4 (for phosphate), and traces. You probably won't need the magnesium sulfate.

If you do need it, it can usually be found locally as Epsom Salt.
