Lushgro K2SO4 and K2HPO4

Hi all, are the above ok to be used with Chuck's fertiliser calculator to calculate the amount to add to a tank?

I use the same calculator, no issue on the plants

Thanks. I need to get a very small spoon for the Phosphate. how to measure 3/16 teaspoon? (Crazy)

Why not mix 1 teaspoon with 160ml of water and every 30ml will be the amount you need?

Me too lazy to mix, or rather, I need to spend the time on aquascaping now. Hopefully can be good enough and make it in time for coming ADA contest 2008

I usually mix couples of spoon with 1L water, and then use few ml each every day.

I just dump 5ml into my 2ft tank. Is it not the correct way to do it? Kindly enlighten me

fish may end up eating it and I do ot know what will be the impact. It might kill it.

I just use my fingers and take a small pinch.

Cheers

Btw, will the excess sulphate from K2SO4 in water cause any negative effects on the plants and fishes/shrimps? I'm thinking of dosing about 3 teaspoon to achieve the desired 30 ppm for K. Any comments from those who are using K2SO4?

Also, is it ok to dose both K2SO4 and KH2PO4 at the same time?

so far nothing happened, my fishes ignored them. But I will try to mix it with water the next time round.

Hey,
I'm dosing both KH2PO4 and K2SO4. In fact I mix both 1tsp of KH2PO4 and 15tsp of K2SO4 in 500ml of tank water. This way, I just dose 10ml 3 times a week to get 19.34ppm K+ and 1.42ppm PO4 per dosing. By the way, I'm using Seachem Nitrogen. There's some potassium in it.

Sorry guys, Is K2SO4 (K)? & KH2PO4 (P)? As was at NA just now to buy k, no idea what ia what. As they is 2 type of potassium, one is potassium sulphate the other is potassium chloride i think.

End up bought the Seachem K.

[jacian]

Both potassium sulphate and potassium chloride can be used and potassium sulphate is the more popular option.

Thank you sir!

by mixing this way is there any issue on keeping the solution stable?. I just dose the dry powder

[uklau]

Not an issue for short term. For long term storage, RO water may be a better option.

I am too mixing some with 600ml of water then use like 1ml every alternate days
