Vinegar doesn't fully preserve the solution, while it may kill or prevent some of the mold/bacteria. Potassium Sorbate will preserve the solution to much high degree. Vinegar primarily lower the PH and acidify the solution.
for most Micros, chelation isn't necessary. Fe and Mn may require the Chelation but usually Fe should be Chelated especially if you want to work with a hard water with high PH/KH.
Thank you friend, my water TDS value is between 80 and 90. I think macro is in a separate bottle, micro is in a separate bottle, iron is in a separate bottle. Yes, dtpa chelate would be nice, but it is very difficult to find dtpa chelate in my country, since I have very little dtpa chelate on hand, I also use EDTA iron. I will reduce it to 40 and 50 tds
How many ppm of dtpa iron do you use? You said it was 0.1 ppm per week. How many ppm of dtpa is this?
How many grams of potassium sorbate should I use for a 250 ml bottle?
TDS has nothing to do with this, even though higher TDS generally mean higher GH/KH etc. but the primary issues are related to PH/KH when we refer on using chelation. there is no issue mixing a different chelation of Iron together.
I believe you are not fully understanding how this whole process works. I suggest reading up on ppm, fertilizer, chelation etc. to understand them better. or I can just help you build your solution if you could provide your water report if you will be using a tap water.
I know what chelations are for, I am giving an example, 0.05ppm iron dtpa weekly, 0.05ppm iron heedta, etc. I asked as an example, I use ro water.
0.1ppm edta =0.1ppm dtpa, I believe.
I believe we may be having a language barrier, possibly due to translation if that is what you are using. ok lets start with your tank, how many gallon or liters is it going to be? then your solution size for Micro and Macros? 500 ml? then how many ml per dose? 10 ml, 20 ml?
"PPM or Parts Per Million is a unit used to describe very small concentrations of a substance in a larger solution"
Dude, I am thinking of dosing iron weekly like this. I have 6% edta iron, 7% dtpa iron, 6% eddha, I will make a combination like this: 0.06ppm dtpa iron, 0.03ppm edta iron, 0.01ppm eddha iron, that is, 0.1ppm weekly.
yes I don't know much English
That's exactly what I wanted to learn🙂
this will work fine as well. but you didn't answer the following:
I didn’t say that they are the same. What I said, or was trying to say, is that the amount of 0.1ppm is always 0.1ppm, irrespective of what type of chelated iron is used.
aquarium 75 liters macros I will use in a 500 ml stock bottle, 5 ml will be in a micro 250 ml bottle, room 10 ml
Hi, since I will use happi urea, is nickel necessary? Do I need to keep the micro mix as well?
For a 100 liter tank, potassium nitrate, 8.15gr urea, 5.36gr ammonium chloride, 5.16gr phosphate, 931mg 5ml+5ml weekly in a 500ml water container. The sale of NH4NO3 is prohibited in my country. I use NH4Cl instead. I'm currently testing ammonium chloride.
