So i got my dry ferts in today. it consists of, CSM+B, KNO3, Iron, KH2PO4, and K2SO4.

Ive gone and mixed CSM, Iron and KNO3 in a 250mL bottle. Mixed the KH2PO4 in a separate bottle. I dose the K2SO4 dry.

So how much of the liquid should i dose for my 36g to start off with?

I got info on mixing HERE. It says to dose 1mL to get a certain PPM in my tank. since i mixed 3 of them together, idk how to calculate that out. im not a math person at all.

If anyone can give me some helpful insights, Thank you :)

ugh... reverse engineering takes too much effort to do the math...

ok... going by this for reference numbers... http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1257519&postcount=2

kno3
1/4 tsp 3X's weekly = 3/4 tsp weekly
if you made the 1tbsp to 250ml, that solution should theoretically last 4 weeks for a total of 12 doses
250 ml/12 doses = 20-21ml per dose - 3X's weekly (20.833333333.... ml)

kh2po4
1/16 tsp 3X's weekly = 3/16tsp weekly
if you made your solution of 1.5 tsp, that solution should last you 8 weeks for a total of 24 doses.
250ml/24 doses = 10-10.5ml per dose - 3X's weekly (10.41666666666.... ml)

k2so4
1/16 tsp 3X's weekly = 3/16tsp weekly

plantex
1/16 tsp 3X's weekly = 3/16tsp weekly
if you made your solution of 1tbsp, that solution should last you 16 weeks for a total of 48 doses.
250ml/48 doses = 5-5.2ml per dose - 3X's weekly (5.20833333333... ml)

sorry, it's early and i'm not double checking, but that's what i'm coming up with for over-simplified EI dosing

omg i have no idea what that is.

i mixed CSM, K, N, Iron in one bottle according to what rexgriggs website said. I was told that would be fine. im just not sure how much of this solution to dose. i know each thread in the cap is 1mL.
