Hi,
I`m relatively new to planted aquariums and i have had a 40gl tank for around 5 years with just fish. So far i have purchased a co2 pressurised kit containing a Bioplast regulator, Solenoid, Needle valve and a JBL vario diffuser. The tank itself has around 20-30 plants and they have been in there for about a month but i had very low co2 levels and things were not growing that quick. Since adding the co2 the plants are all growing well but showing signs of lack of nutrients (brown edges on leaves etc) so i`m looking at getting a good fert regime in place. I have a mixture of plants such as Versalis, Anubis, Pennywort, Wysteria.
I have been using Seachem NPK, Iron and Trace twice a week but i would like to save some money and go to a dry fert solution. In my haste i have ordered the following (and should arrive this week) as i have seen alot of talk relating to the following:
1 x Potassium Nitrate - 250g (AEN0)
1x Trace Mix Plus - 250g (TMP250)
1 x Storage Container (Buy 1 get 1 free) - Large x 4 Pack (AM8158)
1x AE Design 4 dKH Solution - 250ml (2504dKH)
1 x Dispensing Bottle 500ml (SNDCRC)
1x Mono Potassium Phosphate - 250g (AEKP0)
First off are these the rights items and can you guys advise me of a good fert regime for these, or have i ordered the wrong items ? I presume that EI would be a good regime but again i`m unsure. Please excuse my lack of understanding, their is alot for me to learn and although reading through alot of articles on here i`m still confused.
Many thanks,
