Dear,
I'm trying to calculate the amount of dry ferts i need to mix in my 500 ml bottle for dosing in my 55 gallon tank.
- Lighting : single finnex ray 2 ds
- Pressurize co2 : the indicator stays green/yellowish
- Subtrate : Micrale organic soil capped with Blasting sand.
- Also added DIY root tabs Osmocote plus
Here is what i got from Yet another nutrient cal: ( ticked 500ml, 10ml each dose)
Bottle 1:
- KNO3: To reach your target of 7.5 ppm NO3 you will need to add 127.302 g KNO3 to your 500.0 mL dosing container. Add 10.0 mL of that mix to your 55.0 US gal aquarium to yield. Which is 25 tsp
- K2SO4: To reach your target of 7.5 ppm K you will need to add 173.987 g K2SO4 to your 500.0 mL dosing container. Add 10.0 mL of that mix to your 55.0 US gal aquarium to yield. Which is 34 tsp
- KH2PO4: To reach your target of 1.3 ppm PO4 you will need to add 19.391 g KH2PO4 to your 500.0 mL dosing container. Add 10.0 mL of that mix to your 55.0 US gal aquarium to yiel. Which is Which is 4 tsp
Bottle 2:
- CSM+B: To reach your target of 0.5 ppm Fe you will need to add 79.708 g Plantex CSM+B to your 500.0 mL dosing container. Add 10.0 mL of that mix to your 55.0 US gal aquarium to yield. Which is 16 tsp
- DTPA Fe (10%) To reach your target of 0.5 ppm Fe you will need to add 52.049 g DTPA Fe (10%) to your 500.0 mL dosing container. Add 10.0 mL of that mix to your 55.0 US gal aquarium to yield. Which is 10 tsp
I first boiled the tap water and then let it cools down to be warm, added dry ferts in bottle and shake them well. For the bottle 2, i also add in 5ml excel. I dose bottle 1, 10ml on M,W,F and bottle 2, 10ml on Tues,Thurs and Saturday then do 50% water change on Sunday.
So now my question is do i really put that much of dry fert into one bottle and just mix them up like what i have stated above or is there any other math should i look into before mixing them?
