According to this article (http://www.plantedtank.net/articles/Fertilizers-in-a-Planted-Tank/1/)
Nitrates can be supplied via potassium nitrate (KNO3). The target range for nitrates 5-10 ppm.
Phosphates can be supplied via monopotassium phosphate or Fleet Enema. The target range for phosphate is .5-1 ppm or approx. 1/10th nitrate levels.
Potassium can be added via potassium sulfate (K2SO4) or potassium chloride(No-Salt). The target range for pottasium is 20 ppm. Pottasiumm is difficult to test for and is not toxic to fish even at much higher dosages, so it is generally dosed at water change time to a sufficient level to bring the water change volume to that level.
And so i decided to make my own ferts, that comes up with this results
for 1 liter distilled water each chemicals:
KNO3 250g = 8.10ppm
KH2PO4 13.75 = 0.51ppm
KCl 500g = 13.85ppm
with the help from http://rota.la/
my question is if i mix these three solutions will i get the same results?
This is 3x a week dosing
