Hi all,

I may be a bit out of my league here... But I am also trying to source
K2SO4 and was excited when I found Muriate of Potash in a local brand here
in Australia. But I have been doing some more research on the net,
searching Australian sites and one of the horticulture sites said that
Muriate of Potash has 50% chlorine and to use Sulfate of Potash... However
the company that makes the Muriate of Potash does not list it as an
incredient...

Just thought I'd throw this is...

Hi,

I'm obviously new here so "hello" to you all.

I'm not too sure how in depth you guys go with planted tanks so I
apologise in advance if this seems an odd question - if it's not an odd
question then great, perhaps someone can help!

I have a Juwel Rio 125, heavily planted, 3.6 WPG HO T8, CO2 30ppm,
Dennerle substrate and micro ferts, macro ferts dosed daily (KNO3 and
KH2PO4). pH 6.6, KH 3.5, GH 6, NO3 15ppm, PO4 1ppm.

Does anyone know where in the UK I can buy Potassium sulphate (K2SO4)?
If not does anyone know where I can buy Muriate of Potash (KCl)? If so
does anyone know how soluble either of these are? I'm after dosing
potassium as well as nitrates and phosphates.

Thanks.
