CSM+B...?

[Martin in Holland]

HI all...I'm converting to EI with dry salts in my new (to set up) tank....I can get most dry salts here (KNO3, KH2PO4 and MgSO4) but can anyone explain what is CSM+B.
I mean what kind of chemical compounds does it contain? Or should I just keep using flourish (or flourish trace) for this?

Its just basically trace mix in powder form. Works out cheaper than using flourish trace etc which is almost all water

I knew that😛 ....but here in China it's a bit more complicated .....unless you know exactly what is in it, you WILL get something totally, completely different😵

You should be able to Google it, one I found was:-
CSM+B =
Water Soluble chelated magnesium 1.5%
Copper-chelated 0.1%
Iron-chelated 7.0%
Manganese-chelated 2.0%
Molybdenum 0.06%
Zinc-chelated 0.4%
Boron 0.04%
EDTA minimum content 55%

Good luck 🙂

Thanks Harry......I hope I can find this here...I did see some Chelated trace used in animal food, gonna check if it is the same
