NO3 is 5-10ppm
K is 20-40ppm
PO4 is 0.5-1ppm
TE added every 3 days or so
CO2 is everything, 20-35 ppm
Hi guys, hope you all can share with me, what is the optimum ppm for each of the macro and micro nutrients?
I m currently dosing LGM and LGA, + KNO3 + KhPO4 + Mgso4
Thinking of doing away with LGA and just continue using the rest..., thanks in advance

They're trace elements, no need to care much about the ppm. Just dose accordingly, or overdosing is alright too.
oic okok sure thanks, so i can dose as per instruction on the paper. Sure thanks

Make sure your TE is really TE. LGA is not TE, take note.

Actually ther is no "optimum" la.. it varies according to lighting and tank conditions.
Switch out of the Lushgrow series altogether.. just get flourish and use Kno3 with Kh2Po4.. that should cover everything.
Flourish is good! I agree. Practical Fish Keeping voted best. HOWEVER, it is expensive. Imagine a 6ft tank running on buffet style of fertilization.
I used TMG for TE also. Good- zero no3, zero po4. But my cost is high and switched over to LG micro

thats exactly why i didnt wanna use seachem flourish... hai no money.... but i think LGM is still ok rite ? i just bought a 500ml bottle yesterday.... haiz.... nvm i stick to LGM + Kno3 + Mgso4 + kh2po4 then

Yes. Lushgro Micro is fine. You may want to read the contents. It has TEs only, & not even K.
TMG contains K. Is another good choice.
K does not cause algae, btw.
Flourish may contain NO3. This made estimative index method abit tricky.

your tank how big?? from your pictures i dont think you're using this for a 6ft right? so flourish is not that expensive..in that case mah..flourish got no no3 btw..
i agree TMG is also good.. a different form of iron it uses from flourish i think.
if you stick to either of the top 2 choices you can drop the mgso4 dosing.. if you stick to LGM.. dont dose too much mgso4.. very very little can liao.
Nothing significant to influence your test kit or estimation.Originally Posted by barmby
Even if you have a Lamotte kit.

ok thanks so much will remember what you all have said. Try to keep the Mgso4 dosing down
