You only need to dose KNO3, which provides for potassium and nitrate.
If you follow the Estimative Index,
CO2 range 20-30ppm
NO3 range 5-20ppm
K+ range 10-30ppm
PO4 range 0.4-1.5 ppm
Fe 0.5ppm or higher
KNO3 KH2PO4 KCL K2SO4... if i follow chuck's calculator and dose.. wouldn't i be adding a lot of K(Potassium) in to the tank....
still quite confused with chuck's calculator...
so i must keep dosing until suggested tank level right for ALL the ferts is it??

Do you mean i dose KNO3 till the suitable K range and NO3 range...after that... i play with KH2PO4 to attain my PO4 range
for lushgro aqua and micro.. i just dose as per normal right....
hmm... so why does package comes with so much stuff when you only need 3 bottles
namely...KH2PO4..KNO3 and NAHCO3(raise KH)
Yeap you're right. Just KNO3 and KH2PO4 will solve the macros. The micros is easy, just off-the-counter trace elements mix.
The package is kind of well... unnecessary I'd say. You don't even need Aqua, just Micro and the above 2 chemicals.
The pottasium from KNO3 and KH2PO4 should be enough when combined together, so if potassium levels seem low from your addtion of KNO3, don't worry.
