Help with Ferts

[angelfishguy]

Hi, i used to use a recipe for DIY TPN+ and still have some bits left over but wondering if i am missing anything?

i have
KNO3
MgSO4
KH2PO4
and trace elements.

could someone please tell me if id need anything else, and also what would be the best was to dose this, dry? in a liquid?

sorry if these seem like silly questions.

Thank you

Looks OK. Just dose trace on alternate days with the KNO2, MgSO4 and KH2PO4 as the can react if stored together.

If tank is small eg less than say 300l then dosing premixed solutions is ok, but larger tanks easier to dose dry salts by the teaspoon full.

Good place to get quantities here.
