Tpn Dosing

[phishyphil]

I Dose TPN at a ratio of 5ml per 50litres in my Low Tech 4' 330 Litre Tank. Is this correct? I dose once per week at 35 mls. Please correct me if Im wrong

I prefer to dose it daily...

daily is best, normally @ 1ml per 20 ltrs. I reckon you should have a look at dry ferts.

I do have all the Dry powders such as :
Potassium Nitrate
Potassium Phosphate (monobasic)
Potassium Sulphate
Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salts)
E300 Ascorbic Acid
E202 Potassium Sorbate
EDTA Chelated Trace Elements Mix (TNC Trace, CSM+B)

This is how I create the TPN Solution, WOuld you suggest I add these in powder form?

Sorry to hijack - so with my 180l i should be dosing 9ml per day?

in a medium to heavy planted tank, with some kind of C02 addition, yes. It's a good level to start off.

And even then, there 'could' still be certain elements lacking..... Test and try and the final result will be from what the plants are telling you .
