Good afternoon everyone reading this 😀
I'm from south africa and seeing what the prices of fertilizers by you cost 😔 please know that it cost significantly more here by us and isn't even good 😢

I would like to know if anyone would assist me with your diy fertilizer, in what amount of each salt to place in so I could mix it here and share the recipe with the rest of our community here 😀

If I base it on a 50ml dose per day and 500L tank then I could narrow it down to fit any tank

We do have our own diy fertilizer but it's not nearly as good as yours and ours isn't a AIO fertilizer

Please help me help our hobbyists
 
I was hoping of doing a all in one solution so that we have everything in one bottle and we could dose daily even if it only last a week we would be happy but if it last longer even better

Here is a link to how we do it and this will most probably explain to you how bad ours are ,it is good and works relatively ok but not nearny as good as yours

It seems ok. The raw salts are correct.
What is the pH and hardness of the water you are using for your aquarium?
 
Thank you but the only thing I don't understand with that is how will I know what the percentage of each ingredient should be
 
Yes ,that's what I don't understand,
How can I know how much of each I should put in ,I know that the calculator helps with it but how do I know if it's to much or to little

Just make up a stock solution and start dosing your tank as per the method that you want to use. See how the plants respond over a 2 week period. You will also have to factor in your light brightness and CO2 if you are using it.

It is probably best to create a separate post about your tank setup with as much details. Then the experts can give you targeted advice.

Good morning everyone reading this, like most of you know, I'm from south africa and the products that you use isn't available in south africa 😊 ,so after some research I have found a company that can supply me with the salts, they can even go as far as pack it in ,individual quantities and packages, it is a new thing to us and something that has never been here and then I still have to figure out the trace elements And how to get it 😀 but it's an awesome start to something truly amazing ,I think

So here goes my question

[1] : What type of salts should be used (inorganic) ?

[2]: What should the purity of the salts be ? As a 100% purity is more expensive

In the pictures I have attached the formula for my tank as I can understand it but I am open for corrections

I'll gladly be waiting for your response 😌

LOTS OF LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA
