When I am getting plants I have a powder of KNO3 and KN2PO4. So I was thinking for a liquid food either TPN+ or EasyCarbo. Which one?

Thanks Lucy :)

Think you meant KH2PO4 instead of KN2PO4.

The KNO3 and KH2PO4 are both macro nutrients. See here how to dose them.
Now you need micro nutrients (trace elements). The TPN+ does contain these, but it also contains macro nutrients which you already have. Bit of a waste of money. Therefore, you could just get the regular TPN or buy the trace powder from aquaessentials.
Easycarbo can't be compared to TPN+ because they are two different things. Easycarbo is a carbon liquid additive. If the tank has low-medium lighting and CO2 isn't be injected via gas then I would definitely get Easycarbo.
 
I have a tank journal in tropical discussion called "Lucy's Tank Journal". It has some pictures and me messing around with decor, all coming out when plants come... :) Thanks for your help :good:
