Hey guru's, looking for some help, switched from seachem line to making my own liquids, I would like to make a micro, and macro solution covering all bases and leaving no room for deficiency, if possible I want to do a 1-1 dosing, of 1 ml per gallon x 3 times per week of each
so it would be 60 ml micro and 60 ml macro per week for a 20 gallon tank
I am right now doing DIY tropica for my micro with a bit of extra Iron so I dont have to dose extra
for macro I am dosing Tom's daily pmdd style EI solution
60 grams KNO3
15 grams of KH2PO4
25 grams of GH booster(K2SO4 +MgSO4 may be used instead if the GH is high in the tap water)
as the tropica is a very light solution I dose these 1-1 as its only got around 6g's of csm in 1000mls of water
what is missing, what would be better, keeping it as 1-1, 1ml per gallon 3 x's weekly solution, this needs to work for every type of water from super soft to liquid rock as I will be making this for some other people as well and some of my tanks use RO........
also all tanks will be high light with CO2
so it would be 60 ml micro and 60 ml macro per week for a 20 gallon tank
