What is 1/8 teaspoon.....

[BlessChwee]

Finally I have gotten the 3 types of macros from Eco-hypondronics - Calcium Nitrate, Potassium Dihydrogen and Potassium Sulphate.

I have started dosing these 3 dry ferts by mixing them with tap water and pour into my tank. As my tank volume is 90 x 45 x 55cm so if I am not wrong it is 222.75 litres. Basing on Tom Barr E.I dosing reference http://www.bcaquaria.com/forum/plant...ated-index-82/ I followed this :-

40-60 Gallons (152-227 litres)
30ml solution or 1/2 tsp KNO3 3x a week
18ml solution or 1/8 tsp KH2PO4 3x a week
8ml solution or 1/8 tsp K2SO4 3x a week
10ml or 1/8 tsp traces 3x a week

As I do not have any measuring spoons I base on those double spoon with 2.5ml & 5.0ml (spoons use for kids medication) on both sides. Am I right to say 1/2 tsp is approximately 2.5ml and 1/8 tsp is 1/4 of 2.5ml.

I dose these 3 dry ferts on sun, tue & thur and for mon & wed I pour in 2.5ml of my flourish comprehensive liquid.

Please advise if I am doing the right thing and how soon can I see results from my plants especially my japanese hairgrass which I planted 2 weeks ago but didnt see any runners expect growing taller with some new shoots.
