Grumpy's GH does have the K in it, though I vaguely recall Rex saying it isn't quite the same proportions as Equilibrium, but as far as I know they're interchangeable.

The why bother was sort of my reaction to the very low dose here, and my inclination was to not bother at all with the K2SO4, at least it was for quite a very long time. I add the Equilibrium anyway for GH. My additions of extra K are only in the last couple of months, I don't think it makes all that much difference, but as I mentioned my 'testing' isn't exactly scientific and would only really apply to my tank anyway.
So during the time that you omitted K2SO4, do you see any sign of deficiency?
It seems that you know a lot about Seachem stuff, I happen to have a complete line of their products, the 2 liter bottles, I have been dosing according to Seachem recommendation but I still get clado. Do you happen to know the ratio between dry fert and seachem liquid? say, 20ppm of KNO3 = ?? ml of Seachem Nitrogen? and for other such as Seachem Phosphorus and Seachem Nitrogen?
Thanks.
