i've been reading alot about putting kno3 and k2so4 into the tank for the plants and came acrross an article written by two guys.
they have a recipe that they swear by and say it controls algae.
anyway you mix 2 teaspoons of k2so4 1 teasppon of kno3 2.5 table spoons of hydrated magnesium sulfate or(epsom salts) 1 tblspn of chelated iron mix into 1.5 cups of distilled water.
you mix it all up and drop it in your tank as needed to raise your phospahtes and nitrates.
i'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this method and if it has worked for them becasue it seems it would be cheaper then going and buying an 8.00$ bottle of pottasium and another of excel and iron every couple of weeks.
