    Exclamation Dosing Guide

    KNO3 - Target Level of 5-20ppm
    MgSO4 - Target Level of 5-10ppm
    KH2PO4 - Target Level of 0.5-1ppm

    Pls note that the above are the ideal level for a plants only tank. Each tank is unique and have to depend on the live stocks. If you have shrimps or other sensitive fishes, the doses may need to be reduced. Advice will be to test what is the concentration in yr tank before adding, and any addition be done in small increments.

    You may wish to refer to this link - Calculating dosages of fertilizer elements for a planted tank - by Chuck Gadd, Copyright 2000 for more info.

    Hope the info helps.

    Btw, if u need the dry chemicals, pls refer to the link below for details!

    Understand what you are playing with. Don't add simply for the sake of adding.

    All you need for Singapore water is to add KNO3 and KH2PO4. Nitrate comes from KNO3, and phosphate comes from KH2PO4. Potassium supply is provided for by the two chemicals.

    The effect of each substance? There has been no side effects, make sure you use chemicals from a good supplier. Also make sure the substance dissolves fully before adding it into your tank... fish might take a bite at the white crystals.
