Would You Buy This?

[fluffycabbage]

Would you buy this as an alternative to TPN or similar? Seems like a good deal, but is it worth it? http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/Liquid-Trace-Elements-IDHA-Components-make-PMDD-TPN-/180556987195?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item2a0a08fb3b
Thanks

I perfer dry ferts over the expensive store stuff. For traces though just buy some CSM+B as far as the first link goes the powders are good, but you are not getting a lot. Those little liquids sound like a waste, CSM+B is not that expensive. Usually when buying EI fertilizers you should be buying 1/2 or 1 pound amounts of each fertilizer. The dry ferts don't go bad and those amounts should last a couple years.

He does larger amounts too

Where would i buy CSM+B from then?

CSM+B is trace That is basically exactly what the second link is and also most of the first link.

However this statement:

Everything what You need for make PMDD, TPN, CSM+B or other compositions of aquarium plants fertilizers.

Now I won't start moaning about the grammar. Or wether it using English or American spelling but There is no phosphate.

To make TPN you only need the trace so yes its correct but you couldn't make TPN+ with this. He has missed out the phosphate for that.

tell me about it So if i bought that, and some phosphate, it would make TPN+? Im just trying to figure out if it'll work out a lot cheaper thats all. Maybe i should just bite the bullet

If you check the link I gae earlier with 5 or 6 different fert methods on it. There is a DIY Tropica recipe there. May be called 'all in one' or similar. That will tell you what you need to make your own 'TPN+'

Thanks, will do. Have bitten the bullet and ordered a small tpn+, and will get the dry bits in before that runs out in a month! Thanks
