Hey guys, I haven't been able to figure out how trace elements are dosed according to EI. From what I read, it doesn't matter much since the uptake is low, so amounts are measured by the Iron concentration. I bought these trace elements powder - http://www.auasia.com.my/products_cifo_mikrom.htm. The concentrations are listed as:
Boron (B) water soluble 0.5%
Copper (Cu) water soluble, chelated with EDTA 0.5%
Iron (Fe) water soluble, chelated with EDTA 4%
Manganese (Mn) water soluble, chelated with EDTA 4%
Molybdenum (Mo) water soluble 0.2%
Zinc (Zn) water soluble, chelated with EDTA 1%
Magnesium Oxide (MgO), water soluble 3%
Aquaessentials' trace mix plus concentrations are list as:


Boron 1.06%
Copper 0.23%
Iron 8.2%
Manganese 1.82%
Molybdenum 0.15%
Zinc 1.16%
Should I be dosing the Mikrom elements at double the amount compared to trace mix plus since the Iron concentration is only half? I'm a bit concerned since the Mikrom elements has double the Copper concentration.
