CSM+B Plantex
or the
PMDD

KNO3 will dose nitrates and some potassium
KH2PO4 will dose phosphates
K2SO4 will dose potassium
Plantex CSM+B will dose traces and iron
These are all I have dosed in the past with dry ferts.700g Mini-Monster tank -
I see so getting some
KNO3 and KH2PO4 along with
CSM should be ok rightComment
-
I would do the K2SO4 and KN03 if you must leave out one.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

THX EK will buy those thenComment

The PMDD contains KNO3, K2SO4, MgSO4 and CSM+B. It has the nitrate and the potassium in a balanced ratio for EI applications. I don't dose phosphate...my tapwater has 2ppm. I've used the PMDD for a few years and it's very easy to use.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places?

Yep thats were i ordered mine from
Wes you think the PMDD is better then?
Havent used dry fertz this is gonna be first time for me
pretty much gonna use them for balancing nutrient out my plants look good
just few problems with algae now and then
Does the PMDD work good for balance?Comment

It works for me. Years ago I dosed individual ferts and it was a pain to try to get the ratios balanced. The PMDD made it idiot proof for me. I haven't noticed any deficiencies since I started using it. I dose it dry but you can make a solution with it and dose daily drops if you'd rather go that route. Check out Chuck Gadd's site. I think he has a dosing regimen for the liquid drops on his site, as well as the correct amount of water to mix to make the drops. BTW, PMDD stands for Poor Man's Dupla Drops. Back in the day, Dupla Drops was the only fert needed and one of the only preps available.Originally posted by manifresh006 View Post

dang should have got that instead of CMS ,K2SO4 and KN03Comment

Got my fertz yesterday and i wanted to know how should i doze themComment
-
I have always preferred to dose them seperately especially when doing high tech to better tailor each. Even when dosing EI it still needs a bit of tweaking to each individual tank.700g Mini-Monster tankComment
-
If anyone else is ordering from these guys let me know I would like a bag of the PMDDComment
-
Yeah i think it would be better to do each individually just did a 60-70% water change what should i doze today and how much?
Took this from aquacentral
40-60 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 1/2 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1/8 tsp KH2P04 3x a week>>>>>>just replace with K2SO4?????
50% weekly water change
And should i doze dry or make a couple of ml??Comment
