Making Up Trace Solution From Powder?

[craynerd]

Got some KPO4 and KNO3 to start the IE in a few weeks time. I`m fine with volumes ect and think i`ll be ok setting it all up!

I decided to get trace powder at the same time, but after lots of reading, cant find any reference to volumes and concentrations of solution for this! ...how do i go about making a solution for my trace?

Secondly: Zig says to use the downloaded calculator for the EI, since it takes into consideration maximum saturation but i can`t find anywhere to download the calculator...any help?

Hope you can help

Hi Chris

From the aquaessentilas website -

To dose directly into your tank, 1/8 of a teaspoon per 100L as and when needed. If plants begin to show any deficiecies, simply increase the dose.

For preparing a stock solution add 1 tablespoon of trace mix to 500ml of water. Then add 10ml per 100 litres as required.

Try this for the calculator
