Hello,
I am trying to copy Burr740's Micro-mix v11.15 (Sorry for that ) but with a small change.
Net water volume in my tank is 445L (Tank+Sump) with densely packed stem nutrient hoggers, ~170 PAR at substrate level.
CURRENT water parameters and dosing regime:
100% RO water
KH: 0
GH: ~ 3-4 dGH (I add CaSO4+MgSO4)
pH: 6.8
Weekly front loaded dosing
Nitrate 36 ppm
Phosphate 12 ppm
Potassium 48 ppm
CSM+B EI daily
weekly i do 35% water change.
I am trying to make Burr's MicroMix with:
Fe with DTPA Iron 11%
B - H3BO3
Mo - Sodium Molybdate
Ni- Nickel Sulphate 22%
Zn - EDTA Zn 12%
Cu - EDTA Cu 12%
Mn - EDTA Mn 12%
I've planned to add Cobalt as well, with Cobalt Sulphate 20%.
Values of fertz i estimated to make a solution mix (1000 ml Solution with 30 ml Per Dose) as follows:
Daily Dosing
Fe - 20.23g .15 ppm
B - 2.71g .032 ppm
Mn - 8.566g .07 ppm
Zn - 6.118g .0.5 ppm
Cu - 244 mg .002 ppm
Mo - 49 mg .0013 ppm
Ni - 33.37 mg .0005 ppm
Co - 36 mg .0005 ppm
Will it be OK if i replace my CSM+B dosing with this micromix? Is it going to harm my Plants and Shrimps as i do less than 50% water change weekly !! Please do note I have 0 dKH and very soft water as i mentioned earlier 3-4 dGH
