Just ordered 2lbs of Ultimate GH Booster from GLA but I can't find out if it has enough K in it. I'm trying to move away from Seachem since most of their stuff is a rip-off IMO. Quality is good but price is too high.
I read that it raises the GH by the same amount as Equilibrium, but what about K? Does it have a similar amount to Equilibrium or will I have to dose K apart?
Also what about micros? Does it have a similar amount of Fe and Mn compared to Equilibrium?
LOL, I thought you were in Seattle. You would need to check with GLA but it likely the same formula as AquariumFertilizer.com which it Tom Barr's formula. The formula is:
By Volume:
1 Part K2SO4 (Potassium Sulfate)
2 Parts CaSO4 (Calcium Sulfate)
1 Part MgSO4 (Magnesium Sufate)
If it is based upon Tom Barr's formula it should have an equivalent amount if K as Equilibrium; no it would not contain any of the micro-nutrients that Equilibrium contains.
When Tom Barr spoke at GSAS in the fall of 2010 he stated the formula as:
"it about 1/2 Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4); 1/4 Gypsum (CaSO4); and 1/4 Epsom Salts (MGSO4)". I think the difference in the numbers is due to how we measure the "parts"...whether by volume or by weight in grams......I was talking volume not grams. Most of the time I see the Barr GH Booster formula expressed in grams.
But anyway that's great. Will save in the long run for sure, evwn with shipping incl.Well I dose the other micros anyway with CSM+B but good to know more about what's in the GH booster.
