Step #1:
1. start with 400 ml Distilled water and prepare Solution #2 and #3 separately
2. add Ascorbic Acid or Vinegar and mix until fully dissolved
3. add Potassium Sorbate and mix until fully dissolved
4. wait few minutes
5. add chemicals, and mix until fully dissolved
6. fill the container to 500 ml with distilled water
7. wait few hours to make sure these solutions are fully dissolved, some of the chemicals take some time to fully dissolve.
Step #2:
1. start with 400 ml Distilled water and prepare Solution #1 separately
2. add Ascorbic Acid or Vinegar and mix until fully dissolved
3. add Potassium Sorbate and mix until fully dissolved
4. wait few minutes
5. add chemicals, and mix until fully dissolved
6. take 10 ml from Solution#2 and add into this
7. take 2 ml from Solution#3 and add into this
6. fill the container to 500 ml with distilled water
7. now you have a Clone version of Seachem Flourish Trace in Solution#1
#1 Solution, 500 ml Solution
0.5g Ascorbic Acid or 5ml White Vinegar
0.2g Potassium Sorbate
5.82 gram MnSO4*H2O
3.57 gram H3BO3
2.79 gram CuSO4*5H2O
10.6 gram Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate 35.5%
#2 Solution, 500 ml Solution
0.5g Ascorbic Acid or 5ml White Vinegar
0.2g Potassium SorbateSolution
1.59 gram CoSO4*7H2O
0.842 gram Na2MoO4*2H2O
#3 Solution, 500 ml Solution
0.5g Ascorbic Acid or 5ml White Vinegar
0.2g Potassium Sorbate
0.630 gram RbCl
0.355 gram VOSO4
0.676 gram NiCl2*6H2O
Or
1.114 gram (NH4)2Ni(SO4)2·6H2O
5 ml per 50 gallon will add:
Mn 0.1
B 0.033
Cu 0.037
Zn 0.198
Co 0.00035
Mo 0.00353
Ni 0.000035
Rb 0.000094
V 0.000023
Note: this is a cloned version of Seachem Flourish Trace, this Clone is based on the given ppm and the chemicals used by them. if you could only find a different type of chemicals in your country which is not listed above, just let me know.
I would start with 1 ml per 50 gallon which will add 0.02 ppm Mn, you can dose 3x a week if you like or daily, try to maintain 0.07 - 0.15 ppm Mn weekly. you can dose Iron Gluconate like Seachem and maintain about 0.3 ppm Fe weekly or as needed. you can also dose DTPA Fe if you choose that.
according to Seachem calculator, it says dose 0.0056 Mn as proxy 2x a week, so you decide if you want to follow exactly how seachem dose it or increase the dose as needed.
