Re: use of coconut water as manure
another article of use of Coconut water
the link is here http://www.orchidsasia.com/orcintro.htm#cultivation
In nature, orchids obtain their supply of inorganic nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, nitrogen and traces of manganese, boron, copper, zinc etc. from the tree on which they are growing and also from atmosphere and decaying vegetables and dropping of birds. However under controlled conditions they have to be supplied with all these major and minor nutrients. Taking into consideration the special need of different orchids, a large number of fertilizer mixtures, both solid and liquid, are available in market. Liquid fertilizers are much more quickly absorbed and can be applied more frequently. As the orchids are slow growing, slow release fertilizers like osmocote can be used to get very good result. Usage of fertilizers should also depend on stage of growth. During vegetative growth, large quantities of nitrogen are required while during flowering, nitrogen should be reduced and amount of phosphate increased.
We have been getting excellent results by using slow release fertilizer mixtures ( NPK 20:20:20 ) with trace elements and coconut water (20-25 %) applied every week for three successive weeks followed by a 10:20:30 (NPK).
In general, pH of the nutrient solution should be slightly acidic or neutral but not alkaline.

Re: use of coconut water as manure
JUST USE A BIO FILTER (bucket filter)
which is capable to circulate 6 times per day and partial water changes.
shall update soon

Re: use of coconut water as manure
Nice arrangement of filter to clear water. This type of filter arrangement has been succesfully used by professional fish breeders.
