Reply With QuoteYou are missing out on some calcium which is not in the Aqua or the Micros. Best you get CA(NO3)2 Calcium nitrate. And for K, you might want to consider K2 SO4, Potassium Sulphate as an alternative to Eiho if you are interested.

Yeap and apparently, the ecocity website is a little wrong about Lushgrow Aqua and that it does not contain phosphates and instead it has potassium. So instead you might want to opt for potassium diphosphates.

This is what the content of LUSHGrow Aqua
LUSHGro-AQUALiquid consists of 1 bottle of solution. The solution contains N, K, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, and Mo. It is a complete balanced liquid fertilizer for aquatic plants - What is missing is P (Phosphorus)
Here is what i have gathered about LUSHGrow Aqua contents. N & K is listed as present on the label but when i look at the table of Nutritient of the product, K is no longer available but what is available is now P (Phosphorous) so what is present and what is absent ? Can anyone assist to explain. I have dropped them an e-mail to ask about this. Will update you guys if i get a reply.
