Hi everyone i am dosing Flourish Excel and Flourish. People say that i need micro nutrients (NPK) as i am low. they suggest products that just contain NPK micro nutrients. However Flourish contains NPK and more (this is what i am dosing).

Here are the contents:
N
P2O5
K2O
Ca
Mg
S
B
Cl
Co
Cu
Fe
Mn
Mo
Na
Zn

If Flourish contains all this then why dose NPK?

Thanks

NPK are macro nutrients.
Trace Elements are Micro Nutrients (Everything else that is in the bottle).

The levels of NPK in Flourish are low, so this is why you may have been reccomended to dose more, However, if your plants are healthy then there is no reason to change your dosing schedule, but if some defficiencies arise then Seachem do produce NPK in seperate bottles.

Thanks, Aaron

my plants are not happy, i would like to dose NPK in one bottle not in three separate ones. I have looked at my lfs and they don't have anything.

TPN+ is a good alternative. You dose this at 1ml per 20l
It Is available at aqua essentials and the green machine. I think fluidsensor online may be cheaper though.
Thanks, Aaron
