Chuck's Dosing Calculators

mbeck · Feb 2, 2004

I downloaded Chuck's Planted Aquarium calculator - this is exactly what I needed for figuring this out!

I have a question though - is it possible to mix up a solution that contains all the traces / nutrients, or do they interact with each other at all? Seems to me I saw a % mixture chart somewhere... but I've been on so many sites about this lately that I can't find it

. I'm looking forward to finding my digital camera charger so that I can post pictures for all of you.

My suggestion is that you follow the chart, starting just a hair lower than the recommendations to be on the safe side. And dose individually until you get some experience with how your tank responds to tweaking your dosages.
Remember each tank is an individual environment depending on it's water conditions, inhabitants, types of and quantity of plants etc.
Learn what your tank needs before making up a batch of PMDD.

And don't forget your weekly 50%er.

I always keep my fertilizers separate so I can dose differently each week if I need to since some the plants will take up different amounts of ferts each week. So, if I see a nutrient deficiency I can adjust the dose of just that fertilizer accordingly.
