Personally, I'd spend the extra few quid and get the TPN+, you're dosing Liquid Carbon which by my definition takes you into the high-tech realms.

If you're dosing liquid carbon then you should be dosing extra N+P too, though personally I'd be using dry salts as it's cheaper.

Dry salt is toomuch work.. What n+p anyways?

Ok.. TPN+ indeed.. I was bit confused regarding this.. Thanks

N+P are Nitrogen and Phosphorous, two of the three macro nutrients. Dry salts are easy, it's basically weighing out a powder and dissolving it in water, costs pennies too.

So i was right... What do i win?

I shall be looking into dry salts as i didn't realise how much i would need to be dosing of the TPN+ and Flourish Excel.

And yes, i have also used Sera Florena, seemed to make a noticeable difference to my Vallis.

5ml per 50l water....

Is it tropica aquacare plus is TPN+ ??

I don't seems to find it in eBay....

 

[SO19Firearms]

TPN+ is from Tropica. It's a bit expensive to sell on eBay IMO.
The TPN+ recipe pasted from James' planted tank is a good bet, or TNC Complete on eBay.

At 5ml per 50 litre it would equate to 40ml for your tank as you suggested originally. This works out at 5.71 ml a day, so i guess if you use a syringe like i have been doing you could measure out 5.75ml quite easily.
