hi guys, i have got some dry ferts to make stock solution for dosing in my tanks.
here are the ferts that i got
KNO3 40 Gm
KH2PO4 10 Gm
K2SO4 20 Gm
MgSO4 20 Gm
CSM+B 15 Gm
Chelated Iron (EDTA) 15 Gm
and i have dissolved KNO3, KH2PO4, K2SO4, CSM+B in separate bottles 500ml each.
Now my questions are:
1). In how much water should i dissolve Chelated Iron (EDTA) and MgSO4.
2). How much to dose everyday and when to dose them?
Tank dimensions are 2*1.5*1.5 ft for more information please see the tank journal http://www.aquapetz.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1171
Thanks

Ans: Add 15 g chelated Iron in 235ml of water to make a solution.ishaan wrote: In how much water should i dissolve Chelated Iron (EDTA)
Ans: Your tank water capacity is around 121litre. Add 1 ml of this solution in 40 liter of water in alternate days. If there is some shrimps, use it with caution. Calculate actual volume of water in tank start dosing.ishaan wrote:How much to dose everyday and when to dose them?

Re: DIY Ferts
Ishaan....is there any reason why you are adding both potassium as well as magnesium sulphate ? Is your water very soft ?
Also...be careful of the phosphate. Tap water already contains dissolved phosphates and adding extra helps algae blooms.

Re: DIY Ferts
No algae is due to the huge amount of plants which are absorbing the nutrients not letting the algae take a foot hold.ishaan wrote:i seriously don't know why i am adding both of them :p, but till now the plants were growing properly without any type of algae in the tank.
