Ok ,so I've been dosing according to the Yet Another Nutrient Calculator ,for a while now.- EI Low Light/Weekly method
I dose Flourish K and P.I just noticed that ,on the Flourish P bottle ,they recommend 2.5 ml for 80 liters ,once or twice a week.
When comparing to the calculator ,the YANC says I need to add 19 ml for an 80 liter tank ,to get to 1 ppm:
To reach your target of 1 ppm PO4 you will need to add 19 mL Flourish Phosphorus to your 80.0 L aquarium to yield the desired 1 ppm of P .WTF??
Element ppm/degree K 0.41 K2O 0.50 P 0.33 P2O5 0.75 PO4 1.00
Now let's take Flourish K.
The bottle says 5 ml for 125 liters ,repeated 2 or three times a week.
Be it 15 ml for 125 liters a week.
The YANC says
To reach your target of 10 ppm K you will need to add 26 mL Flourish Potassium to your 125.0 L aquarium to yield
Element ppm/degree K 10.00 K2O 12.08These dosages have been calculated with the Low Light / Weekly method.
There is a big difference still .....is there any catch to it ,something I'm missing?Does the low light weekly method assume the usage of Excel or something?Please help!
