PPS Pro questions...

So I see the default mixing and dosing, but I'm curious if there's any tweaks ya'll have made to the formula. Such as separating some of the substances from the main mixture, or increasing/decreasing some of the dosages.

Please also specify your tank size, what type of plants you're growing, and about how densely populated your tank is. e.g. 65g; Limnophila aromatica, lud. repens, AR, lob. cardinalis, various echinodorus, crypts, java fern; about 60% dense, 80% floor coverage.

20 gallon tall, 12 tetras, one oto. Lud. Repens, s. Repens, crypt undulata, echinodorus vesuvius, Alternanthera Reineckii and its mini variant, rotala rotundifolia. This tank was planted only a couple of weeks ago though so ill post results and updates.

Original:
29.5 grams of K2SO4
32.5 grams of KNO3
3 grams of KH2PO4
20.5 grams of MgSO4

40 grams of CSM+B

Tweaked:
37 grams of K2SO4
28 grams of KNO3
5 grams of KH2PO4
18.5 grams of MgSO4

50 grams of CSM+B

All of this is per 500 ml

Also most people add extra phosphate and dose nitrate seperately. Many dose extra micros.
