I've used TNC Complete, Colombo FloraGrow Pro Special Fertiliser, Tropica Specialised, and a few others. They're all good, but I keep coming back to TNC Complete.

The one you make your self for pennies on the dollar!

I have good experience with Vimi All in One. Tropica Specialised is good too,but dosage will depend on pH.

I'm with @Mr.Shenanagins - tailored to your own water parameters, incredibly cheap, DIY all-in-one from dry powders is surely the best!

 

[kschyff]

Anyone used APT Complete?

 

[MirandaB]

Had good results with Vimi all in one and all in red and now trying out APT Complete.

I'm starting with tropica specialised though it would be interesting to find out what most people use and like, thanks guys.

TNC, good enough for my needs.

Tropica premium I find works for me. Good growth and lush green colour.

Nice to hear but since Tropica Premium does not contain N or P so I wouldn't think of it as ALL-IN-ONE.

I use the Specialised myself for my low tech and I am pretty happy with it. Would like to use Dennis Wong's line but they are really expensive shipped to my place of the world.

 

[Welearn]

@Sarpijk,yes I knew that Tropica premium does not contain N or P, as specialised is.
As I have two 3G cascade bowls planted with low Tec plants i find that premium does the job.
But your quite right it's not the all in one.
Cheers
Simon.

Salts are salts and plants don't care which you use, as to the regime well that's another story. TNC is NO3 based whilst Tropicia specialised is urea/amomum based (as if ADA mighty Nitrogen)

Once you tank is over 100litres DIY route makes sense esp if high tech.

In the UK TNC gives the best bag per pound, however in the states Thrive gives the best best bang per dollar.

I use to Clone TNC complete but since switching to Urea as main source of nitrogen I clone a TSN clone

I’ve been using genuine TPN or a clone from TNC salts but do you have a link for the recipes for TNC and TSN?

Yes, IFC Calculator does it all and will clone it to suit your tank and dosing bottles
It also clones many other commercial ferts

Does all the popular regimes as well as bespoke ones to suit your needs, as well as DIY trace mixes, serial dilutions. Does a few Remineralising agents on present release but have been working on a new section which cover remineralisers better IMO
Even does a cost compare which is dynamic, insert cost of salts/commercial fert and all updates ( prices was correct sept 2020).

If your not comfortable using it just post your tank size and dosing bottle size and will post a few choices 😉

 

[Aqua sobriquet]

Thanks for that.

Always see this as a constant reply, yet this is far more difficult than it sounds to me. I have my water supply parameters, yet I have no clue what is relevent or not, and also if the levels are high or low in something. Where do you start as a common ground.
