OK, so you buy the chemicals and "estimate." That can work I suppose. I
bought the Seachem products. I followed the amounts on the containers of
Excel, Iron and trace elements. The new plants still slowly faded
away......

If you're not adding KNO3 that's your problem.
=======================
I added Muriate of Potash. None of the local stores I called had Potassium
Nitrate. The Seachem "Flourish" also contains Potash.

That's potassium chloride. It's a wonder you haven't killed everything
frankly. Who on earth told you to do this?

At least you've found your answer. Way too much potassium and way not
enough nitrate.

You know it might not hurt to familiarize yourself with prior art before
attacking people successful at what you're trying to do while ignoring
their advice.

Just a thought.

It occurs to me a weekly faq of how to fertilize plants might not
be a bad idea.
