@neil sir what ferts other dan coconut water do u use ? I personally use agro fertilizer like urea (rs. 5/300g), phosphate(rs. 7/500g) & powdered bones(rs. 5/500g) in the substrate level... But in the water column i just dose K2so4 for pottasium, and glut for carbon.. Can u suggest some cheap but effective ferts which can be helpful ? I have plants only tank.. No worries for fauna...

bone meal is for Phosphates mainly. also these are actually the cheapest ferts or you can use cow or leaf manure for slow and steady nutrient supply.

I have also installed a 36 X 45 X 45 tank to grow plants in outdoor. The main motive is to grow Lilies.

Kjeldhal Nitrogen
Phosphate
Potassium
Sodium
Calcium
Copper
Ferrous
Magnesium
Manganese
Zinc
Heterotrophs
Nitrosomonas
Nitrobacter



use wormi compost and born meal @substrate level as base

used urea in planting @least strength
use bio fert too if grown up in chemical food it me show some withdrawal symptom in end users tank
they become pale , fall of leaf etc...
any one dis agree ?

not to chase 4 cheapest but chase 4 result oriented

Vermicompost Soup is very good, but instead of collecting the water immediately keep the worms in a layered bin where the lowest layer is where you will collect this liquid. this is as good as a mix of concentrated ferts.

yes it would but this is for cultivation only, not for a tank, for a tank vermicompost for the base layer is good.
