I used to follow that site, but the amount they calculate for seachem fertilizer can be quite insanely high. Now I just follow the recommended according to brands.
I've been trying to access the above website(http://calc.petalphile.com/en/) since 2 weeks ago but I've always gotten
"
Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"

Am I the only one with this problem? I was still able to access it some 2 weeks ago.

What other websites are used by forummers here for nutrient calculations?
I use my own calculator at my blog
Yeah, using commercial bottled ferts for EI style dosing is super expensive due to the overdosing concept, and it's a lot of wastage since you'll be flushing them out during the weekly large water changes too... definitely better and much cheaper to use DIY dry ferts instead when following those types of nutrient calculators.
Hi Shadow,
I use your calculator for EI dry ferts dosing on 22L of water KNO3 350mg, seachem P 3ml & seachem Iron 0.4ml 3 times a week is it too much? plant that i have is MC which now the leaves is turning black.
Yes, Yet Another Nutrient Calculator is down and gone forever. The creator passed away and no one knew until his domain ownership expired. There is a new team working on recreating his calculator, but progress seems to be slow. You can track it progress here: http://rotalabutterfly.com/forum/.
As an alternative, I go to:
http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/calculator.htm
http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...fertilator.swf

I find that the dosage using spoons varies from calculator to calculator. Depending on how well you compact the fertiliser into the spoon, the weight in g varies. Different sites has different assumptions about the exact g of each substance in a spoonful.

thanks dude. it is recommended to have 10-20ppm of potassium? like that must add 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate every week.. wont it be very costly?
1 Teaspoon is approximately 5g. A 500g of K2SO4 is a little less than $12. $12 for 100 weeks, almost 2 years... $0.50 per month.

thanks dude. i did some research and i would get lush gro aqua , lush gro micro and k2so4??
rationale being lush gro aqua don have potassium so i top up with k2so4? but the thing is their instructions r very confusing.. they say lush gro aqua cannot add more than 5 drops a time but can add one cap full per 100litres? contradictory? then i see people here adding a few drops lush gro micro every other day but the instructions say cannot add more than 1 drop per 100 litres?
u have any recommendation? do i need to add in calcium nitrate?
LushGro Aqua lists K as an ingredient in the description/instructions, but not in the table. So you got to check around with those who use it (I don't), or search some more.
I think they mean no more than 5 drops per 10 litres if you take the whole instruction as context.
Anyway, add more or less depends on the amount and type of plants you have in the tank, and the amount of light and CO2 provided. There is no fixed formula, except for proportions. Even then, some of us feed more, some feed less, which would dictate how much N and P to dose.
