Hi,
I'd like to make an EI all in one solution but am confused.
James' very useful site lists the following(http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/allinone.htm):
PMDD+PO4 formula:
10g Potassium Nitrate
1.0g Potassium Phosphate (monobasic)
4.0g Potassium Sulphate
8.0g Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salts)
6g Aqua Essentials Trace Elements Mix
0.5g E300 Ascorbic Acid
0.2g E202 Potassium Sorbate
500ml distilled water
DIY TPN+
48g Potassium Nitrate
2.2g Potassium Phosphate (monobasic)
17g Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salts)
5g Aqua Essentials Trace Elements Mix
0.5g E300 Ascorbic Acid
0.2g E202 Potassium Sorbate
500ml distilled water
This link then gives instructions for an EI all in one which uses different quantities:
http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2424
The two lists above have more Potassium Nitrate than Magnesium Sulphate but in the excel sheet it calculates 2.5 times more Magnesium Sulphate than Potassium Nitrate. Is this based on true EI rather than PMDD or DIY TPN+?
I could also make a NPK mix and CSM+B as separate mixes but I would prefer to does the same every day: http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1211
Full details of my tank are in my journal but it's heavily planted with injected CO2 to 30 ppm and high lighting. Which of these options would you recommend based on a 50% water change weekly?
Thanks,
B4M
