I've ordered it, (KNO3, KH2PO4, CMS+B trace and GH booster) and it is all just waiting on me. It could be sitting around for a long time. Just the question is work. So, I have appreciated everyones support. I hope the questions are not too dry. How do I say this? Help mix this into a 20 gallon (mid to high light with 20 ppm CO2) and a 10 gallon I would like to become a brackish water tank (mid light) with enriched CO2. Other target ranges are/were (Ca 14-30 ppm, Mg 4 ppm, Fe 0.2 ppm; K+, 20 ppm; PO4, 2-4 ppm; NO3, 10 ppm).
Here is what I am using with a 60% water change (until I run out of seachem).
What do I do with dry fertilizers? I have two 1 litter bottles. If I can pre mix any of them ahead of time into distilled water I could put those two bottles to work. AquariumFertilizer.com labels are not very helpful,
How much potassium nitrate (13.5-0-46.2) added to 1 liter H2O will give me the percentage 1-0-2?
Same question for Mono potassium phosphate (0-51-34) added to 1 liter H20 will give me the percentage of 0-0.3-0.2? Just a guess, 3/4 tsp?
I could also use some help trying to find equivalents for flourish comprehensive and equilibrium using Barr's GH booster and Plantex CSM+B. Keep in mind the ten gallon tank is slowly becoming more brackish with the addition of marine salt. KELP!

Is this right. What happened to the K and where did the SO4 come from? Anyway, the labels on the other bags are not much more help. I think they want me to spend $4.95 on Greg Watson's Guide to Dosing Strategies."For a phosphorous solution like store-bought ones, add to 1 liter distilled water 3/4 tsp MKP (0-51-34). The result will be a solution of 0.3% P2SO4."
