Ferts for APP?

**Weirong** · 6th Jan 2006, 08:54

I recently came back to trying APP after a long break. Currently, having them in a 3ft tank.
What other ferts do they require besides the usual? I know that they are nitrate hungry so how do you supplement that? Currently, I'm using JBL Ferropol for all my tanks. Thanks.

Same deal for all plants. NO3, PO4, K, Ca, Mg and general trace mix like TMG/flourish and etc.

Thanks. But is there any need to supplement additional ferts for them after some time? My past experiences has not been ideal, they tend to suddenly turn yellow after growing well for awhile!

that usually just means more no3

Is there just NO3 on sale? It seems that most ferts comes in a package of everything...

You can buy KNO3 in powder form from Dr Mallick's at Farmart. Then mix your own solution. Try using Chuck's Gadd's calculator to work out the mixture. Alternatively, you can get Seachem Flourish Nitrogen from C328 or Nature Aquarium.

You can also get them at all good plant stores like those along Thomson Road, or your neighbourhood one. I found KNO3 at Ang Mo Kio's nursery. Also can be bought at Nature Aquarium.
