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

Product Information

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? Add Aquarium volume, directly into the aquarium is set to default. Then fill in the number of grams of the salts you have. According to Rotala Butterfly, it agrees with what several of you have said, that I should indeed be dosing 2ml or even 3ml a day of TNC Complete. I think it suggests 2.5ml a day.

Water changes are 50% twice a week at the moment. I use 10 litres of rainwater plus 2 litres of tap, giving KH and GH both 4°, which I then supplement with Epsom salts to boost GH to about 7° (to assist shrimp moulting). TDS before a water change is usually about 170, and about 145 after. pH is about 6.5. 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? 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. 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.

Amazing place!

per 10 litres of tank water 3x per week will give a dose similar to the Estimative Index levels – Be sure to change 50% of your water once per week to remove organic waste from the plants. Is it possible that my plants are deficient in PO₄³⁻ or K? When I do water changes, I use about 10 litres of rainwater with 2 litres of tapwater to get the softness I want, so I’m not getting much contribution from the tap.

The price match offer is only valid for identical, same size/amount and available macroalgae species. In that scenario, a 500ml bottle of APT would have lasted 18 months, whereas the 500ml bottle of TNC would have been 6 months (at a 3ml/day dose). Where both get expensive is when using it for large tanks, which is why I use dry salts and mix my own for my 350L. If it were me, I would work out how many doses (I do it in days) you'll get from both fertilisers and see what's more value for money that way.

Vibrant plants

Hey all! Looking for advice on how I can best change my dosing over from TNC Complete to DIY Salts for my low light/low tech tank. I know EI was designed with high light/high tech tanks in mind so I want to figure out what I would need to dose to roughly equal what I am dosing now with TNC Complete and maybe what I can safely increase/decrease from there. If you test the potassium and iron coming out of the tap and in your tank at different points in the day, it should give you a rough idea of how much fertiliser you need to add. Nitrate testing is quite hard to do, so see if your water company has any info, or if you want to you could buy a more accurate test kit (I haven't done this) https://www.aquasabi.com/Macherey-Nagel-Visocolor-ECO-Nitrate-Test-kit If you have a look at the <" Nutrient Calculator"> that @Zeus., @Hanuman, @fablau& @X3NiTH have developed <" it lays bare"> just what <" an incredible mark up"> there is on these ready made liquid fertiliser products. Even if you have quite a small tank, if you are using EI, then the initial cost of buying the dry salts and dosing bottles is dwarfed by the cost of the branded products. Some people are always going to prefer ease of use, but it really is a contest to find the <" World's most expensive water">.

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’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.

The problem comes because nearly all the iron in the aquarium isn't plant available, so even though there might potentially be a lot of it, in plant terms there isn't any, if that makes sense? Have a look at /www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/why-add-fertilisers-and-additional-plants-to-combat-algae.58866/#post-575638']Why add fertilisers.....[/URL]"> All macroalgaewill be well protected when posted to youto ensure that it will arrive in the best condition at yours. I use these as a guideline as it is lower nitrogen than full EI and that means I can clean my glass less often. Remember if you start by just dosing a little bit, you'll probably reach the ideal levels or higher for most of the elements. Try to dose the minimum to get to the ideal level of your most depleted nutrient (for me potassium).

We won't be beaten on the premium quality of our live algaecultures, and surely not on the price either! TNC Complete contains a balanced blend of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium as well as Magnesium and all the important trace elements. 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.When iron (Fe) is deficient, plants will produce less chlorophyll in their new shoots. An iron deficiency is therefore easily identified in the shoot tips of fast-growing stem plants. The rich leaf green fades, and the young plant parts assume a yellow to white colour (chlorosis). The other tank is more like a paludarium setup with a load of emersed growing plants, this is the only one that gets a fert dose after each water change. This said when using this fertiliser we recommend for safety reasons tomonitor the Copper level in theaquarium water and to usewhen necessary Copper removing supplements. Instruction Guidelines 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.
