as always, I find this information to be misleading and Inaccurate. if this was the case, I have hydroponic solution at my disposal which is several times concentrated than the EI and it should also take care of that imbalances or interaction issues listed above.

I believe you are dosing the following? great job on your thread, I always appreciate people who like to do experiments. I would try to increase the Mn from 0.05 to 0.1 ppm and you can also increase the Cu a little if you like. Fe-DTPA: 0.2 ppm Fe Borax: 0.03 ppm B Zinc sulfate: 0.02 ppm Zn...

Probably not that close but here is a decent Knock off: 500 ml solution, 20 ml per 50 gallons 7.268 gram Solufeed Coir TEC (not available in the USA, But available in the UK) 18.12 grams NH4NO3 (easy to find in the USA, but not in the UK) 2.102 grams KH2PO4 9.174 grams K2SO4 19.194 grams...

Hi Wookii, sorry about the late reply, got busy with the kids. you can certainly use this recipe for the low tech tank if that is what you are asking. I just picked up the Coir TEC for this project as I believe it may be better overall Trace/Fe and we can add the N, P, K, Mg etc. to it as we...

Yes, the water usually had 0-1 dkh and 2-3 dgh, I often change the dgh to see the response from the plants, but dkh is always kept close to 0. Fe will be influenced if the dkh were to be high and may require changes. but, K can be kept within the same range.

No Sir, I cannot find this anywhere in the USA. But I can always send you my own Micro Mix that can last you for very long time.

Just for the record, this was one of his tanks before 🦕 made their way into it and ate all the plants.

no water changes and clean tank is possible. I will save it for some other time to discuss about it. I actually have a tank with no co2 and freezing water. My son uses it for underwater Dinosaur world.

Solufeed Coir TEC contain DTPA Fe, which itself is highly protected from the Phosphate interference. we further add some vinegar to acidify the solution to lower the PH which keep things more soluble and protected.

Next thing to try is no water changes at all, only top off the evaporated water.

1-3 ppm K weekly and 0.02 - 0.1 ppm Fe weekly. the point is that low tech tanks would have far less of an uptake and the needed nutrients.

usually only topping off the evaporated water, in low tech tank this may vary. but 25% water change every 2 week should be good, which is about 50% water change every month. you maybe get away with less than that.

am a lousy experimental guy with two kids to take care of. but whenever I get a chance, I try to do my experiments. any guesses on how much Fe, K am I dosing in these tanks? and these are high light, CO2 enriched tank with Inert Silica Sand. Pic #1 Pic #2 Pic #3 Pic #4 Pic#5

After some debate on this thread, it encouraged me to post some decent recipe that can be useful for the low-tech folks. Below are two recipes that I can consider to be a good starting point with very little maintenance. Can be dosed once a week or split the doses into 3-4x a week, Target 1 ppm...

If I were to recommend something to Low Tech folks, it would look something like this: 500 ml solution, 20 ml per 50 gallon (with decent fish load) 10.54 grams K2SO4 19.2 grams MgSO4.7H2O 3.634 gram Solufeed Coir TEC 0.25 gram potassium sorbate Fe 0.05 (chelated by DTPA Fe) Mn...

I highly Respect Mr. Barr and whatever he has done for the hobby. During his Era and whenever his method was born, it was designed to keep things simple without the need for testing, worrying about the nutrients etc. it was solely or primarily focused on dosing excessive and plant will use...
