Dry fertilizers mixed in advance
I want mix in advance dry fertilizers in water, enough for about 1 or 2 months at a time.
Should I use a small pump (like a Rio+ 50) that will run a few minutes per day to keep it well mixed? Or an airstone would be enough? Or nothing at all? I will have 3 buckets of prepared additives : macros, micros and GH booster, |

I can see the potential use for a small pump/airstone to keep everything in the fertilizer bottle well mixed, but I don't think it will be necessary. In general, the fertilizers will stay dissolved and will not precipitate out of solution unless something happens (drop in temperature, etc). I have let a bottle of macronutrients sit out on the shelf for a year, and nothing happened, so I think 1-2 months will be fine.
