you can use either one of the Micros, But I would go with the Tradecorp AZ and you can decide weather you want to keep the Micros and Macros separate in their own solution. I also Recommend using Distilled water for solutions. we can add Magnesium to your aquarium during water changes if needed, its excluded from the recipes because its usually covered at water changes.

Thank you soo much @Happi. Can I trust these KNO3 & KH2PO4nce it’s not food grade? Also can I use this brand instead for the EDDHA ultraferro - Tradecorp | Australia
My last two questions is there a need to use potassium sulphate?
And were do I get a calculator you used from.
Again thanks for the quick response.
they are ok for our purpose
both are same thing, get either one.
not needed if using KNO3
I use Mathematics Formula
Thanks again much appreciated @Happi

Is this a viable alternative?
Elixir Gardens Bumper Crop High Potassium Fertiliser - 2 : 1 : 4 | 700g - 20kg | eBay
Elixir Gardens Bumper Crop High Potassium Fertiliser - 2 : 1 : 4 | 700g - 20kg | eBay
its composition is
and Solufeeds 2:1:4 is
So it's the same, IMO its solufeeds 2:1:4 that's been purchased in bulk and repacked. It works out at twice the price of buying a 20Kg bag of Solufeeds 2:1:4 per Kilogram. But costing £10.45 per 1Kg its cheaper than 1Kg pack of the Solufeed 2:1:4 £14.00
Nice find
Use it at the same dose as advised by the IFC calculator for your target ppms or posts on this forum
by now I believe many hobbyist are using this, can anyone share more picture updates on this?
has anyone tried this with the following:
100% RO water Mineralized to Calcium 10 ppm and Magnesium 4 ppm
then
weekly dose:
N 3 (1.4 Urea-N, 1.62 NO3-N) this will add 7.18 ppm NO3, Rest of the N from Urea
P 0.6
K 5.3
Fe 0.335
Mn 0.08454
Cu 0.01
B 0.0375
Zn 0.057
Mo 0.006438

What brand are these ppms?

Great information thank you @Happi great read 👍
I'm planning to order both these solufeed to test them myself for my 20g and small nano.
My worries are my water parameters which is really high in nitrate(30ppm) from my water report which I've attached.
Would you be able to to help me with a recipe similar to apt zero/1 as I would like to minimize nitrate(not add any at all as I think I'm highly stocked on fish now and would like to get my RRFTs red)
Once again thx for all this information, seems to be so much cheaper in the long run

Hi all,
You can use an aquarium calculator <"Nutrient Dosing Calculator"> to get levels of other nutrients (from dry salts) and use the Solufeed TEC etc. for the micro-elements.
If you don't have acceptable plant growth? Add in some of the Solufeed 2 : 1 : 4 mix.
I'd concentrate on getting the plants growing initially, once they are growing well (<"all of the essential nutrients are plant available">) you can muck about with leaner dosing etc.
* it will be less than these values because you won't have the addition from the Solufeed 2 : 1 :4.

You would need to use an <"Aquarium fertiliser">, because they are the <"only "fertilisers""> that don't include nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P). You can't use the Solufeed 2 : 1 : 4 mix.

Initially I'd just make up the microelement solution (@Happi recipe below), dose that and see what happens. Basically the <"plants can't lie">.

You might have to dose additional <"chelated iron"> (Fe), (and possibly magnesium (Mg)), purely because of the <"hard and calcium (Ca) rich"> nature of your tap water.
* it will be less than these values because you won't have the addition from the Solufeed 2 : 1 :4.

it depends on what you are trying to compare. but it look something like this when compared side by side:
Modified Version:
add these to Recipe #3
21.62 gram KNO3
15.54 grams K2SO4
Note: Additional Mg is not added in the Modified version when compared to TNC because Mg is usually covered during GH boosters or Mineralization.
