I want to make sure that I have this dosing right.

potassium nitrate - 1ml equals 1.08 ppm nitrate and 0.54 ppm postassium.

for every 10 gallons

so I need 60 ml to get 20 ppm of nitrate?


Mono potassium phosphate - 1m equals 0.53 ppm phosphates.

for every 10 gallons

so I need 6 ml to get 3 ppm of phosphate?

Flourish excel it says 5ml for every 60 gallons at 0.33 iron so I should dose 2 times what it says for a 29gal.

Please verifiy that this is correct if this is I have been under dosing because I didn't relize it was for every 10 gallons.

I am not running co2 at the moment so should I be cutting these in half to compensate for it.
 
Cut those doses in half for the week. Especially without CO2.

Also, Excel doesn't have iron in it. Flourish Comprehensive does though.

Which one do you have? Excel or Comp?
 
your not providing info for the solution you made. can't really check the math. I like chuck gadd's fert calculator for solutions. it takes a little playing with to get the numbers where you want them, but has not let me down yet. i think his would make this process a little easier to grasp.
