I’ll need to mix up some all in one solution soon but my scales are broken. Is there a recipe that uses teaspoons or fractions thereof? My problem is that I don’t need to make up any more than a litre and that will last ages!

It’s says it’s based on all natural ingredients? So maybe not glutaraldehyde.
There seem to be a lot of commercial all in one plant fertilisers out there (and several DIY recipes) so why do some folks use separate Macro and Micro solutions?

Should I be adding food colouring to my all in one formula? :lol:
Or is there something missing ...
I've been using the AIO from:

Are there any other recipes out there that are specified by volume of ingredients rather than weight? My scales are working fine at the moment but measuring spoons don’t break or need batteries! :lol:
Which of the four recipes would you Moss heads use in a Nano to get the best growth/colour?

I'm not using CO2 but have a bottle of EasyCarbo :)
I've just got some dry ferts from one of our sponsors but I didn't order any Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate - MgSO4) as I already had some. Now I've looked at the packet it says: 49% MgSO4 = 16% MgO. Is this the right stuff?!
On the TNC site it says that you may not need Magnesium Sulphate if you are in a hard water area.
Do those of you with hard water add it or not? :eh:

My newly set up Nano will have mainly Moss in it so do I need to add ferts to it until/if I actually put other plants in there? I assume if I do add ferts the moss will grow a bit quicker but will it be enough to keep algae at bay, and what about Easycarbo?!
I'm collecting/maintaining plants in pots ready for the tank and I'm using a standard feed at the moment as I happened to have some:

I'm mixing 50g of it in 500ml of water and adding it at a rate of .5ml per litre. Am I in the ballpark...
Anyone considered a slow dosing pumped system, perhaps for when they're away? Peristaltic pumps seem to be available at reasonable prices. Would take some working out to make up a suitable strength solution as a starting point but I'm sure the more expert members on here could do it...
