Hi all,
Firstly I'll apologise if these things have been covered before and for my ignorance in these matters.
I currently use APFs All in One solution which has been great as all I have to do is mix with water and dose daily. For my new tank I'm considering switching over to mixing my own All in One, based on James' recipe.
10g Potassium Nitrate
2.3g Monopotassium Phosphate
4.0g Potassium Sulphate
8.0g Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salts)
0.5g E300 Ascorbic Acid
0.2g E202 Potassium Sorbate
6g EDTA Chelated Trace Elements Mix (TNC Trace, CSM+B)
500ml distilled water
Dosing 5ml per 40 litres
I've never used the EI method before so I just have a couple of questions. The new tank will be 200 litres with a medium amount of plant's, CO2 injected with 2x54w T5s.
Do I need to adjust this recipe in anyway, based on plant volume or my tap water chemistry?
How long will the solution last once mixed? 500ml will last me about 3 weeks based on 25ml per day.
Other than overall cost would there be any other advantages to using James's All in One?
Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.
Richard
