Default what do I miss?


"Alex R"


Anyway, what I would do is figure out exactly how much I need to add of

the
potassium, nitrate, and traces to obtain the recommended levels. I suggest
making a solution. I don't know what the point of using both Flourish and
PMDD is.If you have Flourish, then just use that as your trace supplement,
along with Flourish Iron. I'd say it's better than the PMDD trace mixture.
And just add the KNO3 and (KCl or K2SO4) separately. You will probably
eventually need to add phosphate. If so, then try searching the Google
archive for ideas on PO4 sources. I got some KH2PO4 from www.litemanu.com.

I started using the PMDD for money saving reason, Figured in the long run
and possible more tanks it will be cheaper.
I guess I was wrong, since I had to spend so much money to replace the dead
plants.
( the price of cheap...)
I had the flourish bottles first then came the PMDD.
Anyhow I have KNO3 and K2SO4 and Epson salt as well.
I'll purchase some PO4 from the website you recommended.
Any suggestion where can I find Fe, Mg and Ca test kits?
I have kit for NO3, NO2, P but those my store don't carry.
Thanks
