Hello,
Right now i have this planted tank, plants are as follows.
* Water wisteria (lots)
* Aponogetton crispus (some)
* Contortist (Some)
* Common Lily/lotus (some) [Actually i need proper ID on this check video and please tell]
* Marimo balls
You can check video, its sparsely planted but i want to add some more plants which will grow on side and start covering the top corners.
Lights : Going to be 2wpg (upgrading this weekend)
CO2: Going excel till it finishes then will add cylinder (approx in 4-5 months).

=======================================================================
I bought ferts as following on http://aquariumfertilizer.com/ :
*PMDD Pre-Mix (1lb)
PMDD Pre-Mix 1 lb contains 1 part each of following
*Potassium Nitrate (KNO3).
*Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4).
*Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4).
*Plantex CSM+B Which covers following. (micro's i guess)
Total magnesium - water soluble chelated magnesium 1.5%
Copper - chelated 0.1%
Iron - chelated 7.0%
Manganese - chelated 2.0%
Molybdenum 0.06%
Zinc - chelated 0.40%
EDTA - minimum content 55%.
Recommended DOSAGE on the packet as follows:
To use, 1/4 cup PMDD-Premix with 500ml H2O. Dose at 1-4 drops / gallon / day .
* Mono Potassium Phosphate (1lb).
Which is complete part MKP.
Recommended DOSAGE on the packet as follows:
For a Phosphorous solution like store-bought ones, add to 1 liter distilled H20 3/4th tsp MKP.
The result will be a solution of ~0.3%P2SO4.
=======================================================================
So Experienced users here, How should i really prepare solution and DOSE my tank , I am asking here mainly because i want to know exact portions to make solution and if you see the tank in video you can recommend me more properly than defacto instruction on a packet?
BTW i did search for instructions here and got lots of EI method, no real thread only for PMDD and I see lots of threads but with lots of arguments instead of proper portions. EI is there but i am not sure that is for PMDD , i think its not same , so this new thread.
