TNC Complete - Plant Fertilizer Aquarium/Aquatic Plant Food (1000ml)

Product Information

I’m beginning to point the finger at fertilisation. I’ve been dosing TNC Complete, using the 3x dosage which supposedly approximates EI. But I’ve just done some sums, and I’m not sure it does. All services are working day services and do not include delivery on Saturdays and Sundays or public holidays as standard. Deliveries are usually Monday to Friday only, although some Royal Mail items may be delivered on weekends as standard if the service is available in your area. SERVICE I've seen the ' All In One Solution' for dosing all the salts in one solution - if this works and you can just dose everything in one solution without issue then why isn't everyone doing this? Is there a downside or reason not to do this? Would you recommend it? TNC Complete is a ready mixed fertiliser for the planted aquarium, containinga balanced blend of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium as well as Magnesium and all the important trace elements for a great growth.

Well, since upping my dose of TNC Complete to double the recommended triple dose, I have seen an improvement in the Hottonia palustris. The tips are now looking less “bleached”, and less flattened; I do think it’s growing better. I'm currently having low tech setups only and dose dry salts directly into the aquarium after a water change... It is not a kit I've used, but if it goes red? It probably uses this method In which case one of the bottles will be an acetate buffer (sodium or ammonium acetate?) and the other hydroxylamine.TNC Complete is an aquatic plant food specially formulated for use in all planted aquariums. For aquariums where the fish load is not meeting the requirements to supply the necessary Nitrate and Phosphate – TNC Complete is ideal for making up this shortfall. I have 7 ember tetras, 3 pygmy cories and 2 Amano shrimp. And an unknown number of Asellus aquaticus (thanks for the ID, Darrell!), probably hitch-hikers from some hornwort I transferred from the pond. This will be “it” for at least a while, although a small colony of cherries is a possibility once the tank is a bit more mature. I've seen somewhere before that someone was dosing the salts separately but within the same day so the tank was getting everything every day rather than alternating macro/micro nutrients on different days. Is this a thing and if so is it better? Does it make any difference? Would you recommend it? Weoffer for sale macroalgae from our mature macroalgae mother colonies in a premium quality & 100% healthy within the UK and EU.

So my current dosage is 1ml per day, every day. This is roughly in accordance with the instructions for TNC Complete, but is less than people have recommended here. The “normal” dose would be 1ml per 10 litres (i.e. 2ml for my tank) once a week, but the instructions say that you can dose this three times a week (i.e. 6ml per week for my tank) to approximate EI. What I do is dose 1ml every day, because I figure that a smaller, more frequent dose is better - and it’s easier to remember! So I’m dosing 7ml a week, which is slightly more than the instructions say. Add Aquarium volume, directly into the aquarium is set to default. Then fill in the number of grams of the salts you have. For strongalgae growth it is recommended tomaintain a minimum Nitrate level of 3-5 ppm and phosphate level of 0.01 ppm, as otherwisean optimum macroalgae growth may not be possible.

fertiliser compatibility - yes it's been talked about ever since Dennis Robert Hoagland started work on a combined fertiliser in the 1930's. You can find a few examples of fertiliser compatibility charts if you search on the internet. The primary reaction people fear in aquariums is that Fe EDTA will react with phosphorous in the presence of light. When an insoluble compound forms (like calcium phosphate or calcium sulphate) it prevents enough mobility to allow this to be taken up by plants. A problem that typically faces land fertigation is the reactions of certain ions with ammonia and sulphate salts.

The price match offer is only valid for identical, same size/amount and available macroalgae species. The dwarf hairgrass is doing very nicely, and I am gradually trimming that shorter and shorter because I want it to be very low in the foreground. For me, it's pretty simple i use a calculator to find the correct amounts of dry salts to reach the proper PPM value. Then i have a 0.01 pharmacy (jewellers) weight scale and a scoop.I buy salts from allover the place. You can usually buy reasonable amounts (10 or 20kg) of KNO3 from salt curing companies. I do. You can buy several hundred kilograms or even tonnes of all of these fertilisers at very little cost from agricultural suppliers and fertiliser companies, and 60kg or 100kg bag of chelated trace elements will last quite a while. The thing about traces is that they are all slightly different - so you are going to have to think about what constituents you really want. Over the years various ratios have been suggested and that may influence what you choose to mix (e.g. P:Zn, Ca:Mg, Fe:Mn). Some are disputed - little research has ever been done for specific aquarium plants. TNC Complete contains 1.5% Nitrogen, 0.2% Phosphorus, and 5% Potassium. Therefore in your 35ml per week you are adding:

Dose 10 ml per 100 litres of tank per week and increase the dosing when necessary up to three times a week. I have a plan in mind in regards to the light and adding ferts. Can I get your guys thoughts on it. I will be ferting TNC complete Thank you-I didn't mention any values here because different amounts work well for different people. I would personally encourage you to aim for Dennis Wong's values: (in ppm) We also have our own <" UKAPS nutrient calculator under development">, which should soon become available as a fully tested version.We want you to be fully happy with your new macroalgae addition. Therefore we offer you a hassle free Satisfaction Guarantee. The reason I want to switch over to DIY salts is cost, not really for this tank as it's not that expensive using TNC Complete for this tank but I'm about to set up a second tank and another larger third tank will be coming after that one, hence the interest in switching to DIY salts. All three tanks will be low light/low tech so the nutrient requirements should be pretty much the same per litre so I figured I'd get to grips with the dry salt mix now before I start the second tank. To make some plants redder you can eg reduce NO3 levels which initiates a NO3 deficiency which makes some plants redder- but it doesn't mean they are healthier. So I've just installed a Twinstar 1200s 3 days ago. And its nice having the ability to ramp up and ramp down the intensity of it. I’m minded to go with people’s advice and try upping to 2ml per day and see what happens. I read somewhere (it may have been one of Clive’s posts) that a phosphate shortage can interfere with nitrate uptake, so it seems worth a try to increase everything.
