Hi all, this is all new to me so please let me know if you see anything whacky.
I think I have an idea of how I want to dose but I'm sure that I could use some help.
I 'll post the labels I just printed for my two bottles that I want to dose from.
Chuck's calculator tells me that k2so4 is somewhat insoluble so I chose to mix with it, Kno3 and Kh2po4 at ratios that should dose what I'm shooting for. This means a fairly big dose of this somewhat weak solution.
I use "Prime" for dechlorination etc and I understand that it neutralizes No3 so I plan on starting the week off with a water change but no No3 until the next day.
I have 3 tanks that are co2 injected, heavily planted.
I live in the bay area ca.
if anyone would like to look at the target levels and let me know if it is common to dose the full amount 3x a week i's appreciate it.
Please let me know if you see anything glaringly wrong with what I plan.
Thanks
